A family-run supermarket in Wolverhampton has donated £500 to Compton Hospice after taking part in a charity scheme to help support local communities.

Brothers Sukhjit and Sukvinder Chima run Costcutter in Deans Road, Eastfield, and raised the money by signing up to Making a Difference Locally - a charity which helps  independently-run stores to give something back to the local communities who shop with them.

The scheme is supported by various brands, and every time the store sells specific products, they raise some more funds for their chosen charity.

Sukhjit explained that he and his brother had chosen Compton Hospice because its a charity which touches the lives of so many people in Wolverhampton, including many his customers.

"Many people who shop here have been helped by Compton, or their friends or relatives have, and the hospice does such good work.

"The money is all raised locally, so we wanted to put it back to use in our community, so Compton was the obvious choice.

"The scheme is on-going, so we hope to add more and more to this £500 in the coming months, with the help and support of our customers," he added.

Simon Cater, community fundraiser at Compton Hospice, thanked the brothers and their customers for their support.

"It's great to see schemes like Making a Difference Locally helping to put money back into the communities who support their local stores, and we are really grateful that Mr Chima and his family chose to support us.

"This money can really help make a difference to people's lives, and allowing Compton to continue to provide vital services."
