The Association of Children’s Hospices (ACH), the umbrella body for children’s hospices
in the UK, is to be the official Charity of the Year for food retailer Somerfield
in 2005-6.
Together ACH and Somerfield aim to raise more than £1 million for 36 
children’s hospices across the UK. Last year, Somerfield raised over £1.5 million
for its charity, Muscular Dystrophy.

The selection process for Somerfield Charity of the Year ended in a staff vote which
involved employees of both Somerfield and Kwik Save.

The charity year will begin on 1 July 2005 and finish on 30 June 2006.
