The search is on in Helensburgh and Lomond for worthy charities to potentially benefit from part of a £1 million fund.

The Morrisons Foundation has put aside the cash to be awarded across 125 charities to mark the supermarket's number of years in business.

Their Community Spaces Fund will provide grants of up to £8,000 each to "enhance community spaces and local facilities" and help them make a difference locally.

The community champion in each store will recommend charities to benefit from the fund.

Brandon Somerville, community champion at the Helensburgh store, said: “The Community Spaces Fund is a great opportunity for local charities to bid for funding that could improve our community.

"There are lots of community spaces and facilities that would benefit from this funding boost. It will be a difficult choice to make, but I’m excited about the positive impact this fund will make."

Brandon is inviting charities to submit an application by July 14 ,with the successful 125 charities to be named by the end of August.

David Scott, Morrisons Foundation trustee, added: “Morrisons has always sought to give back to the communities it serves.

"So it’s fitting that as Morrisons celebrates 125 years, the Morrisons Foundation is launching this special fund which will improve community spaces and local facilities up and down the country.”
