**Morrisons Supermarkets have selected Diabetes UK as its new charity of the year.**

Morrisons’ 50,000 staff in its 127 stores nominated Diabetes UK as their charity
of the year for 2004 from a shortlist of six other charities. Over the next 10 months
staff will be getting involved in numerous fundraising activities, and a £1 Diabetes
UK hummingbird badge will be on sale in each store.

Last year Morrisons staff and shoppers raised £552,675 for Marie Curie Cancer Care,
beating the previous total by over £100,000.
