**This month eight million Warburtons crumpets will be sold in Morrisons stores 
across the UK, and each one will raise funds for hospice care at healthcare charity
Sue Ryder.**

 

Sue Ryder is Morrisons’ national charity partner, and Warburtons is helping it raise
even more money for the charity. As a result sales of around 190,000 crumpets each
day will help boost income.

Rick Lay, Head of Partnerships at Sue Ryder said:

 

> “We urgently need to raise more funds so we can continue to provide our incredible
> care. Having support from Morrisons and Warburtons in this fun and engaging way
> is great and will go a long way in helping us fulfil the increasing demands on
> our services.”

 

He added that the charity was encouraging the public to buy the packs of nine crumpets
and host a fundraising tea party.

 

A Warburtons spokesperson said:

 

> “Morrisons has a long history of supporting charities through ‘Raise a Smile’,
> and we are hugely proud to be involved this year by donating £45k from the sale
> of nine-pack of crumpets.”

 

## Hospice Care Week

 

The Crumpets and other items including a Sue Ryder bouquet went on sale in Morrison
stores across the UK from 3 October to coincide with Hospice Care Week, an annual
week of activity to raise the profile of hospice care across the UK.
