Cannonball 8000
Robert Morris and co driver David McKeown entered the world famous Cannonball 8000 road race. Leaving Earl's Court in 30th place at midday on Friday 14th October, along with 155 entrants, Robert and David raced towards the Euro Tunnel clocking up sponsorship towards his £50,000 target for the Build Aid charity.
After 3 grueling days behind the wheel and 1200 miles later, Robert and David finished the rally in 1st place helping to rocket sponsorship towards the 2007 target.
Build Aid
Morris Furniture’s Charitable Trust, Build Aid, is a new charity initiative formed initially to provide construction support services and work in partnership with local governments, NGO's, community groups and individuals following the Tsunami in South East Asia. Its aim is to provide general and specialist building expertise by way of volunteers, funding, training supplying the necessary management, labour, tools, plant and machinery to assist with the reconstruction efforts in the areas worst affected by the Boxing Day Tsunami.

Hamilton FC Youth Initiative
Scottish Football League team Hamilton have signed a 3 year sponsorship deal with Homestyle to fund a youth initiative aimed at helping to improve young Scottish talent in football. Approximately 1,100 young people, between the ages of six and ten attend Hamilton FC each week, to learn new skills and build on their talent.
Giving youths a chance at life is something that both the club and Morris Furniture Group are in support of. With the rise of anti-social behaviour and lack of focus in young people, the joint aim is to ensure that kids are kept off the street and give them a focal point in the community.
