Sainsbury's in Cockermouth is seeking nominations for its next charity of the year.

Nomination papers are available in store and any registered charity benefiting West Cumbria can apply.

The deadline for nominations is May 28 and customers will be able to vote for the shortlisted causes in store between June 12 and 25.

A store spokesman said: "We'd like as many charities as possible to come forward."

For the last year the store has supported the special care baby unit at Whitehaven's West Cumberland Hospital.

It has raised more than £4,000 and donated items including nappies and cups to be used by parents.
