Morrison
Shelter started working in partnership with leading UK repairs and maintenance provider Morrison Facilities Services Ltd in November 2010.
This is Morrison’s first official charity partnership and they have set themselves an ambitious target: to raise £50,000 from employee fundraising activities and cause-related marketing initiatives. Morrison hopes to engage 3,500 staff in England and Scotland in fun events and challenges to generate more awareness of homelessness and bad housing in the UK and help us continue our vital work helping more than one million people in housing need each year.
A huge thanks to Morrison staff across the UK who have already shown such enthusiasm and creativity in their support of Shelter. They've already raised more than £40,000 - well on their way to hitting that target!
Marathon team
Morrison’s senior management team, including Daniel Leckey (pictured) are already off to a flying start – they formed their first ever running team and took on the London Virgin Marathon in April 2011, raising £20,000 thanks to the generosity of their top suppliers.
Employee engagement
From cake sales to a cabaret night, from 'Wear Red' days (pictured) and sponsored walks to sporting events like The Glen Cycle Way, BT Swimathon and The Great Manchester run, Morrison's staff have found numerous ways to show their support for the partnership. They have not only raised money for Shelter - they have also raised awareness of housing and homelessness issues among their colleagues, clients and suppliers.
Other achievements
Morrison have introduced a payroll giving scheme for staff. They have also encouraged employees to recycle mobile phones and printer cartridges for Shelter.
