Staff from Wilkinson added some extra colour to the shop during a charity event to raise money for the elderly.

The shop in Walton was filled with rainbows and balloons during on Friday, May 20 and Saturday, May21, to entertain customers and raise money for charity Age UK.

Paul Farthing, director of fundraising at Age UK, said: β€œAll the funds raised by Wilkinson will go a long way towards supporting older people. Changes in society mean that millions of people are currently living alone in later life, with many facing loneliness and depression.

"Through our work we fund a range of social activities helping older people have fun, keep well and make friends – ensuring people can make the most of later life.”
