MORRISONS is giving away millions of sunflower seeds to customers in an effort to spread hope and lift the spirits of the nation.

The sunflower seeds will be offered to customers in packs of 10 by checkout colleagues after they have finished their shopping and included within Morrisons online shopping orders.

Morrisons Community Champions will also be working with schools, care homes and community groups to distribute the packs and plant the seeds in their local areas.

The idea was sparked by community champion Rose Morgan.

"Everyone is emerging from lockdown in different ways and I wanted to give my customers fresh hope and food for the heart by putting smiles on as many faces as possible," she said.

The seeds at Morrisons - which has stores in Colwyn Bay, Rhyl and Bangor - will be subject to availability.
