McDonald’s restaurants donate £8K

We are delighted to have received a donation from McDonald’s restaurants in Port Glasgow and Greenock. We have just received a total of £8,000, from the McDonald’s teams.

The donation was made possible by the ‘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.

McDonald’s franchisee Alan Halliday, who owns and operates six restaurants across Scotland, said: “Supporting our local community is of upmost importance to my team and me, which is why I was so pleased to see the McDonald’s in the Community Foundation officially launch last year. It means that each restaurant group can make meaningful contributions to charities in the communities that we operate in. Parklea Branching Out provides a wonderful service to people in the local area and we hope this money will help them to continue this good work. We’re so proud to be able to work with charities such as Parklea Branching Out and look forward to continuing to do so.”

Thank you so much to everyone at McDonald’s.
