FUNDRAISING is in full swing for Marks & Spencer's biggest ever local charity campaign.

Employees across the UK have pledged their support to raise £1.25million in 125 days for local community charities.

The move is part of the retailer's 125th anniversary celebrations.

M&S employees at Glasgow's Braehead store have chosen the local charity they will be fundraising for over the coming months.

The Braehead store is committed to raising as much money as possible for Aberlour Child Care Trust.

Fundraising teams from each of the M&S stores in Scotland will be leading their colleagues in a host of activities to raise as much money as possible for each of the local charities they are supporting.

The Braehead store will be organising a variety of activities to raise funds including a sponsored parachute jump, bake sales and bag packing by Aberlour in store.

Jonathan Glenister, M&S regional manager for Scotland, said: "It's exciting to be celebrating our 125th anniversary and this fundraising challenge enables us to give something back to the local communities that we've been part of for the last 125 years."
