CLIC Sargent and Morrisons have been partnered since 2017 and have raised £14 million so far to help children and young people and their families dealing with a cancer diagnosis. CLIC Sargent is there for young cancer patients from the minute the doctor says cancer and Morrisons have helped families to be closer together through treatment, provided millions in grants to help families cope with the hidden costs of cancer and helped CLIC Sargent stop cancer destroying young lives.

The money raised by Morrisons colleagues and customers over the next year will go towards opening a brand new CLIC Sargent Home from Home in Manchester. CLIC Sargent’s Home from Homes are a free place for families to stay when their child is going through cancer treatment, as on average young cancer patients have to travel 60 miles each time they need treatment, costing them an average of £600 extra a month. The Manchester home will give those being treated at the Christie hospital who travel to Manchester from all over the country to receive specialist cancer treatment a place to stay,  helping families avoid the extra financial burdens of travel, accommodation and food costs, associated with having cancer. It will also allow young cancer patients to be close to their loved ones, keeping the family together at the most difficult time. 

This March, Morrisons Marketing Department will be taking on the 500,000 Steps in March Challenge to do their bit to support CLIC Sargent! We will be walking, running, dancing, skipping or hobbling our way through, so please support us by digging deep and giving generously! Each team in the department will be battling to become the victorious champions by contributing the most steps to the challenge!

Now, let's get moving!
