Making precious memories: Morrisons and Together for Short Lives
Morrisons
Client: Together for Short Lives
The Morrisons and Together for Short Lives partnership has been transformational for the UK’s 54 children’s hospices and 99,000 families caring for a seriously ill child. Thanks to colleague, supplier and customer support, our partnership has raised £7.1 million in just two years, and is on track to surpass the £10 million target.
These funds have already created an incredible legacy of support, enabling children’s hospices deliver vital care, complete essential building work and purchase new equipment. We have piloted and launched an innovative Outreach Project to connect hundreds of underserved families with support in their local community, and we’ve supported those struggling financially with cost of living and bereavement grants and emergency food deliveries, whilst funding special events for families to make precious memories together that will last a lifetime. We’ve raised nationwide awareness about children’s palliative care and the wonderful work of children’s hospices. With 99% of surveyed colleagues saying the partnership made them proud to work for Morrisons, this is a mutually beneficial partnership worth celebrating!
