Crisis, RBLI, Hope for Justice, Shelter Scotland, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund 
and The National Literacy Trust are among those to have received support.

 

It is now encouraging more local charities [to apply](http://morrisonsfoundation.com).
While up to £25,000 is available, the emphasis is on smaller amounts to enable it
to support more charities.
