THE Sainsbury’s store in Winchester city centre is looking for ideas from customers as to which local charities to support this year.

For the first time, customers at Middle brook Street will be given a choice of charities to vote for between June 15-28.

The winning charity will then receive a year of support from the store, which includes fundraising and awareness.

Patsy Farr, store manager, said: “We know there are so many great charities in the local area and we’re really excited about providing a boost to one of these over the next year.”

Charities can apply by emailing prl.winchester@sainsburys.co.uk. The deadline is Monday, May 11.
