FROM cookery workshops to trips to Blackpool, young people at Mahdlo Youth Zone had a fun-filled summer thanks to Tesco stores in Oldham.

A £6,000 donation from the stores helped the Egerton Street youth zone to provide numerous activities including the trip to Sandcastle Waterpark, Blackpool.

The stores also provided a cookery workshop where children could try their hand at healthy homemade pizzas, tasty scones and robot sandwiches.

The Tesco stores in Oldham have been working with Mahdlo Youth Zone over the past year to help provide inclusive activities for youngsters in the area.

Claire Crossfield, development manager at Mahdlo Youth Zone, said: “We’d like to thank Tesco Oldham for their support.

“They have helped us to provide numerous inclusive activities for the young people who use our services.

“Their support has meant we can go that one step further with activities, such as trips to Sandcastle Waterpark in Blackpool, which delighted the youngsters.

“The children who took part in the cookery workshop thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn’t wait to try out their newly taught skills at home.”

Marie Toora, store manager at the Tesco Chadderton store, said: “The teams across the Oldham stores are delighted to have supported the Mahdlo Youth Zone.

“We’re committed to providing the best experience possible for our customers, but we are also dedicated in supporting local organisations such as the Mahdlo Youth Zone.”
