THE Peak Day Centre in Midhurst Road, Liphook – Sainsbury's chosen charity for 2011 – has been presented with a cheque of £320, making the total raised £2,000.

Sainsbury's also provided clients of the Centre with various items on their "wish list" over the year.

Each year customer are asked to fill out forms nominating their favourite local charity, which then goes before the supermarket's colleague council of twelve, who make the final decision.

Sainsbury's marketing manager, Vicky Farmer told The Herald: "All Sainsbury's stores chose their own local charity of the year and nominations are put forward to the in-house council for consideration.

"In the past we have supported Bramshott Educational Trust, Guide Dogs For the Blind and The Day Centre.

"We were very happy to support the Day Centre for the elderly in the village, who do a marvellous job and rely solely on charity donations.

"This year we will be working with Crossways Counselling Services, based in Hindhead, to help raise their profile as well as awareness and funds."
