BRADFORD-based Morrisons has launched a new ice cream to support children and young people with cancer.

The sweet treat has been developed with the help of a budding group of taste testers, who have been supported by cancer charity CLIC Sargent.

The winning flavour, Candyfloss and Apple, will be sold across Morrisons stores nationwide to raise £45,000 for the charity.

Backing the launch is little Albie Noble, five, from Huddersfield (pictured). He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in summer 2017 and will continue receiving treatment for the cancer for the next two years.

In September last year, Albie attended an ice cream tasting party at Morrisons head office in Bradford, to mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Albie’s mum, Annie James, said: “We loved attending the tasting party at Morrisons, it was great for Albie to be with others facing similar situations, just being able to have fun and to feel normal.

“It was also lovely to chat to other parents, while of course tasting lots of delicious ice cream. Albie and his brother couldn’t get enough of all of the different flavours to choose from!

“We’re really proud to support the launch of the new ice cream, you can tell Morrisons really care about their partnership with CLIC Sargent and they do so much to help make a difference.

“CLIC Sargent has helped us so much, they provided a grant when Albie was diagnosed which helped with parking and petrol costs and assigned us a social worker to support our older son, giving him someone to talk to, we can’t thank them enough. I’m now also a member of the Parent’s Advisory Board so I can use our experiences to help others.”
