Last year’s winner (Wiltshire WI) said: “This money has been a blessing for us. Like most organisations, we have suffered due to the pandemic, and the prize has enabled us to continue to bring women together, to gain new skills, and to campaign on issues close to our hearts.”
Shoppers visiting their local Morrisons supermarket in Illingworth will see a special Tree near the entry before entering the store.
This Community Giving tree has baubles with different amounts of donations that go towards the charity Mothershare, supporting mothers of babies and young children facing hardship.
During the lead up to Christmas and the festive season, you can pick up a bauble and pay for it at the checkout. 100% of your donation goes to Mothershare.
Please consider supporting this cause.

We are thrilled to open our first-ever online shop selling official Neighbourhood Watch branded merchandise. Our supporters have long told us that they would like to be able to purchase Neighbourhood Watch street signs, window stickers, and other branded accessories such as notebooks, tote bags or trolley coins centrally.
“We are so pleased to be able to support local Neighbourhood Watch groups to purchase branded items centrally. This will make it easier for them to replace old street signs with fresh new ones, deterring crimes from their street.” John Hayward-Cripps, CEO of Neighbourhood Watch Network
As an independent national charity, your support in the shop will enable us to offer customers the best prices possible and expand the range of items in store.
“Some of our limited-stock merchandise proudly celebrates our 40th anniversary with our much-loved special-edition logo. We know items such as our pin badges are popular and can’t wait to see more of our members wearing them.” Cheryl Spruce, Head of Membership and Engagement
To celebrate, we are offering all customers a 20% discount until the end of October 2022. Use the code NW-SHOP at checkout.
