CHARITIES in Poole and Bournemouth are in with the chance of receiving a year’s worth of fundraising support from Sainsbury’s in Talbot Heath.
The store is asking their customers and staff to put forward the names of different charities that are important to them, which can be voted for in the store until May 23.
A shortlist of nominations will be drawn up after the closing date and the top three will be invited into the store to talk about how Sainsbury’s can support them for the next 12 months.
Last year they raised £2,000 for Naomi House and jacksplace, the hospice near Winchester.
The store will continue to provide support to the charity including instore collections, bag packing and a variety of fundraising events.
Store manager Gordon Silvester said: “Our last charity partnership with Naomi House and jacksplace proved a great success and we’re looking forward to continuing to support them.
“Our customers now have a fantastic opportunity to help us support another local charity which is close to many people’s hearts, so we hope they can help us in our search for your local charity partner for 2012/13.”
