Tesco Extra Burnley to host a community pop-up event

This event is an opportunity for local charity and community organisations to showcase the wonderful work being done to bring about positive benefits to people's lives and their wellbeing.

The event is open to the public and free to attend. Everyone is invited to come along or stop by on their regular visit to the store and enjoy a different shopping experience.

Tesco's Community Champion, Mukhtar Mirza said "Due the popularity of last year's event where around 15 organisations were represented, this year it is double that amount. This is an opportunity for local charity and community groups that Burnley Tesco store has supported or is closely working with, to spotlight their achievements. They will also be able to recruit new volunteers or kick start their fundraising efforts.

In addition to community stalls, there will be arts & crafts stalls, face painting, henna painting, live country folk music, chor singing and karaoke for anyone wishing to blast out a tune or two.

The event will be attended by the Mayor & Mayoress of Burnley and the Mayor & Mayoress of Pendle. Also, representives from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Services and Lancashire Community Police will be at hand to offer advice.
