All the money raised from the sales of single will be split between the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) and The Sun newspapers Helping Haiti fund.
Martyn Jones, Group Trading Director at Morrisons comments: “The Haiti Earthquake has caused such devastation and we want to offer our support. We hope the profits raised from this single all go to helping the victims. We help 1000’s of charities and community projects each year and so we’d like to thank our customers who have been very generous with donations in store.”
Donations will help the devastated Island of Haiti after an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale displaced an estimated three million people. Emergency relief from people around the globe has been shipped to those affected.
