Four charities have received a share of over £70,000 from Waitrose.com, the supermarket’s online service.

Waitrose.com gives all its profits to The Prince’s Trust, Macmillan Cancer Relief, The British Heart Foundation and The British Red Cross. A donation to charity is made every time someone visits their site, with users choosing which of the four charities is to benefit.

Judy Beard, Director of Fundraising at Macmillan Cancer Relief said on behalf of all four charities: “We are very grateful to Waitrose.com for this generous donation. The fact that the service donates 100% of its profits to charity shows the level of its commitment, both to providing an ethical service to the public and also to making a real difference to people who face difficult challenges in their lives. Thank you!”

Customers can subscribe to Waitrose.com online at www.waitrose.com/isp or pick up a disc from their local Waitrose food shop.
