📚 Book Donations Needed 📚

We are looking for donations of good-quality adult books for the book tables at Morrisons Pontefract and Morrisons Knottingley.

We welcome a variety of genres, including: 📖 Novels, Autobiographies, biographies, Fiction, non-fiction, Romance, Crime and thrillers, Historical fiction and General interest books

Please note: We are only able to accept adult books. We kindly ask that children's books and inappropriate or explicit material are not left on the book table.

All money raised from book sales is donated to Marie Curie, helping to provide care and support for people living with terminal illness and their families.

If you have any books you no longer need, we would be very grateful if you could: 📚 Place them on the book table/bookcase in store, or 📚 Hand them to our Community Champion.

Every book donated helps us raise valuable funds for a wonderful cause.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. 💛

Morrisons Pontefract and Knottingley donated refreshments, biscuits, bread, butter and jam to Twenty 7, based at 27 Market Place, Pontefract.

Twenty 7 is a fantastic new community project that has been set up to support people within our local community. They currently offer a variety of activities between 10am and 2pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, providing a welcoming space for people to connect, chat and access support.

As the project develops, they hope to introduce more peer-led groups, including bereavement support groups, first-time parents groups, and many others.

Why not pop in for a free cuppa and a slice of toast?

Everyone is welcome!

Together, we can help build a stronger, more connected community. 💙
