Festive revellers at the Commercial Street venue are being invited to donate spare change to the Echo Trust to benefit local children’s charities.

Since then it has raised more than £2.5 million and supported causes ranging from children’s charities to children’s hospitals.

General manager Adi Broadhead said: “Christmas is a time for giving and we’re sure our customers will respond generously to our appeal. ‘Give a Kid a Quid’ is a simple way to raise a lot of money that will transform the lives of local young people in our community.”

The appeal is on now and runs until New Year’s Eve.
