Customers at Morrisons in Littlehampton have raised hundreds of pounds for local schoolchildren and their families.

People were invited to pick a bauble from the Local Community Giving Tree in store in the run-up to Christmas and pay £1, £2 or £5 towards the appeal. All donations were donated to White Meadows Primary Academy in Littlehampton for its foodbank.

Organiser Alison Whitburn, the store's community champion, said: "Our Giving Tree this year has raised an amazing £646 for White Meadows Primary Academy food bank. Thank you to everyone who bought a bauble – it will help a lot of local families."

The school will be presented with a gift card, which can be used at Morrisons to purchase items for the foodbank. Alison explained: "The money will help the families that need certain items. We are grateful to our customers for supporting this."
