Sainsbury’s at Deepdale is opening up the voting to customers for who should be their local charity partner.

It will be the fifth year the scheme has run and last year Carers Central received £1,754.

Since 2009 the Deepdale store and its customers have raised over £10,000 for local charities.

Sainsburys Preston Store Manager Mark Fitzgerald added: “Our work with previous local charity partners over the years has been really successful in letting our customers have their say.

“We hope our customers can take the time to vote in the coming weeks and give a local charity that’s close to their hearts the chance for us to support them.”

Customers can nominate a charity either instore or online or email local.charity@sainsburys.co.uk.

Sainsbury’s ask to include the name and address of the local store, the charity’s contact details and the reason for nominating in your email.
