The Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research organisation will benefit from the hard work of employees at Frankie & Benny’s restaurant in Flowerdown Retail Park.

They held a number of activities for diners at the end of last week which helped the chain with its charity bid. Company mascot Sketch paid the restaurant a visit and provided the children with plenty of entertainment on Thursday afternoon.
