Morrisons Foundation

Based in Bradford, the supermarket chain Morrisons has established the Morrisons Foundation to support local good causes across Great Britain. The Foundation, a charity registered in England, Wales and Scotland, receives its funding from a number of different sources including the proceeds of the sales of carrier bags from its stores in Scotland and Wales. This income stream is ring-fenced, so money raised from the sale of bags in Scotland/Wales will be spent on charities benefiting people in Scotland/Wales.

The funding is intended for local charities that have a new project which will benefit their local community, but who have not been able to secure funding previously.
