Vicky Brooks, Morrisons community champion, said: “As it’s the 100th anniversary I thought of doing something a little different this year, especially as last year’s collections were badly affected with Covid.

“The two hundred we already have are fabulous, and customers are stopping to look at the great artwork.

“Our customers are so generous when it comes to charity so it’s great for them to be involved this way.”
