Morrisons and Together for Short Lives Raise £10.7M to Help Hospices Like ellenor Support Local Children

During 2024, a national charity partnership between supermarket chain Morrisons and the UK’s leading children’s palliative care charity, Together for Short Lives, has raised millions for children’s hospices across the country.

We are one of the few hospices in the UK providing acute oncology, palliative, and end-of-life care to seriously ill children in the comfort of their own homes helping families spend precious time together in familiar surroundings, with the support they need.

 

Since its launch in early 2022, the campaign has raised an astonishing £10.7 million for children’s hospices across the UK. We received £12,369 in its final income distribution bringing the total amount received over the course of the partnership to more than £60,000.. This funding has directly supported babies, children, and young people living with life-limiting conditions in our local community.

 

The partnership saw every children’s hospice in the UK paired with their local Morrisons stores, empowering colleagues, customers, and suppliers to raise funds through in-store activities, community events, and national campaigns like Every Pack Gives Back.

 

“This partnership has been genuinely transformational,” said Jemma Kemp, Corporate Partnerships Manager at ellenor. “This has been such a special partnership. Working with a national brand like Morrisons at a truly local level has been fantastic for us and we are grateful for the hard work and support from everyone involved.

Long-term partnerships like this provide us with the financial stability we need to continue delivering specialist care and support to some very special families in our community.”

 

We provide specialist care for babies, children, and young people with life-limiting conditions supporting families in their own homes and communities across Bexley Whether it’s managing pain and symptoms, offering practical and emotional support, or helping families make lasting memories, we are here to make life a little easier during the hardest times.

 

We would like to thank every customer, supporter, and team member who played a part in this incredible partnership - and especially Morrisons and Together for Short Lives, whose support made it all possible. Your generosity has helped us continue providing expert care to children and families living with life-limiting conditions in our community, when they need it most during this partnership that ended in October 2024.
