and live on Freeview channel 276
Led by its franchisee Elliot Jardine, the McDonald’s restaurant in Grangemouth, made a contribution of £5000 to the Rotary Club’s annual golf day. Funds raised were donated directly to Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support.
The donation was made possible by the newly launched McDonald’s in the Community Foundation, set up by 16 Scottish McDonald’s franchisees, and the 20 McDonald’s-owned restaurants in Scotland. The foundation provides a central hub to help distribute funds, raised by the 10p carrier bag charge, to different charities and organisations across Scotland.
