As a part of the Channel 103 toy appeal, we donated a £30 SandpiperCI voucher to go towards refreshments on the day. A quote from Barnardo's Jersey, "We would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Channel 103 toy appeal... you have helped so many children and young people this Christmas."

As Santa's Sleigh flew around the parishes of Jersey, Morrisons Daily ensured the elves were stocked up with sweet treats to give to children that came out to see the big man himself. Our Benest store donated 20 tubs of sweets and chocolate to spread Christmas cheer around the island.

The Jersey Hospice Care Santa Dash was a ho, ho, hoot and a half as hundreds of jolly red runners, including our Sandpiper Striders, gathered in Liberation Square to embark on their race through town. The air was filled with anticipation and the smell of mince pies, thanks to Morrisons Loungeville who donated 200 of them to fuel runners at the finish line.
