John Turner Construction's festive fund-raising

Staff at John Turner Construction have raised more than 3,000 during a Christmas raffle

Workers at John Turner's head office in Grimsargh organised a raffle, with prizes including a 49” TV, a play station, and an Xbox.

The funds will be used to provide food for struggling families via The Trussell Trust.

Sharon Stephenson, business development and marketing co-ordinator, said: "This has grown arms and legs from what we expected ... we have asked for Trussell food banks in the areas where we operate to receive our donations - South Ribble, Trafford and Speke."
