Arthur Road store joined six other shops for the fundraising effort.

Jessica Hughes, community investment manager at Southern Co-op, said: “Each of our stores has a budget which they can donate to special projects but this total is separate.

“Every penny has been raised by colleagues and customers who want to help the store’s current charity partner.”
