The crew set up a charity car wash base in the car park and handled a long line of vehicles in exchange for a donation.

They were raising money for The Fire Fighters Charity, as part of the annual national car wash league, and for Morrisons’ chosen charity, CLIC Sargent.

The team included crews from Littlehampton A watch and Littlehampton’s on-call retained section, who used hose reels, buckets and sponges to clean the cars.

Alison Whitburn, Morrisons Littlehampton community champion, said: “A total of £480 was raised for The Fire Fighters Charity and for Morrisons’ chosen charity, CLIC Sargent – amazing considering the weather and road closure.”
