Failsworth Tesco in cash drive for local charities

Rose Knipe with Barbara Lloyd of Dr Kershaw's

Staff at Failsworth Tesco have helped raised over £600 for local charities.

The money was raised by making up lucky bags for customers, and through the book table in the store.

Customers and staff raised £350 for Maggie's in Oldham and a further £300 for Dr Kershaw's Hospice in Royton.

Rose Knipe, Community Champion at the store said: "We're extremely proud to help our local charities."
