The Littlehampton store has twinned with Chesnut Tree House, near Arundel, through Morrisons' chosen charity, so all the money raised will go to the Sussex children's hospice.

The trail has seen a giant butterfly travelling across the south coast from store to store and it was taken to Littlehampton on Thursday by the Bognor team.

Alison Whitburn, community champion, said: "We had our Together for Short Lives fundraiser on Friday, a tombola that was enjoyed by all, and Freddie Tandy, the mayor of Littlehampton, joined in and helped.

"We’ve also been selling homemade butterfly-themed goodies, activity packs, key rings, hair accessories, pens and badges in August and we have raised £1,000."

The butterfly was then taken to the Worthing store for a fundraising event on Saturday and then transferred on to the Brighton store.
