Over 1,000 Sainsbury's stores are each inviting nominations of local charities to
be their charity of the year. Nominations are open from 1 to 14 May 2013.

For the past five years Sainsbury's stores have partnered with a local charity of
their choice for 12 months. Each charity benefits from fundraising and volunteering
by staff. Each store chooses its charity in May.
