McDonald’s restaurants across Preston, Blackpool, Leyland, Fleetwood, Chorley, Fulwood and Lytham have all hosted multiple fundraising events including hamper giveaways, fun days, raffles, colouring competitions for children and McDelivery giveaways. Some of the restaurants have also had boxes and trolleys setup in the restaurants where local customers can drop gifts and essentials in including toys, bedding, clothing, toiletries and food. As a result of their efforts, a cheque of £3002.50 was delivered to the Foxton Centre this week.

Local franchisee, Nigel Dunnington, who owns and operates 17 McDonald’s restaurants in West Lancashire, said: “We all appreciate the amazing work The Foxton Centre have done over the past 50 years across the Avenham district. I’m amazed by the volunteers their hard work and what they achieve. We also wanted to do our bit in time for Christmas to ensure the most vulnerable also have a memorable Christmas season. I’d like to thank the restaurant teams for their help organising the fundraising events as well as our generous customers who donated. I would like to wish The Foxton Centre, our customer and staff a very Happy Christmas and New Year”.
