Sainsbury’s has opened its first Local store in Cambridge, with Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT) set to benefit from its arrival.

The charity for Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals has been selected as the St Andrews Street store’s local charity partner for the next year.

ACT has already received a£1,000 donation from the store’s construction team, Base Build Services, to buy toys and therapeutic play puppets through which children can learn about their illness and the treatment they will need.

Sainsbury’s store manager Joe Kelly, said: “What better way to mark our intention to make a difference in the community than with our first local charity partner cutting the ribbon? We’re delighted to welcome them and our new customers to our store, which will have some 40 new recruits on hand to welcome them. We’re looking forward to becoming a real part of the community.”

The 2,800 sq ft store will stock a range of fresh and convenience foods perfect to top up the weekly shop, and also boasts a bakery, cookware, fresh flowers and newspapers.
