The company set up donation stations at its four Preston-based sites at the start of the month.

They were for employees to bring in toys, books, gifts, clothes and more to donate to Rock FM’s Cash for Kids Mission Christmas appeal (Rock FM) and The Next Chapter – the Blackpool-based organisation supporting homeless and vulnerable people.

Rebecca Langtree, who chairs the BAE Systems Shared Services Employee Fundraising Committee, said: “We’re proud to support the local communities where we operate as a business, and where our employees live and work.
