A party and events service in Preston are raising money to help The JJ Effect Children in Need campaign that supports struggling children and families.

The funds will go towards buying gifts for children at Christmas, which Mikey McGuines and Byron Highton did last year and delivered them dressed up as The Grinch.

Byron said: “Everything we received and raise will go towards the children in need we support each year at Christmas. From hero children to children fighting cancer. Then we finish the year off with our annual Christmas kids party ready to deliver the presents on Christmas Day.”

Mascots Delight who provide mascot hire for all occasions in Preston and surrounding areas, have decided to help the pair with fundraising.

They are holding an event which will take place at Wilbraham Club, Geoffrey Street, on July 26 from 4pm-midnight. Entry will cost £5 and will include a DJ, 360 degree booth, Spectrum Association performing, a raffle, games, food and much more.

The Wilbraham Club are also putting on a charity football match at 12pm which will be over thirties vs under thirties at Waverly Park. Tickets are £10 and will go towards the event.

Sharina from Mascots Delights said: “I wanted to help Byron and Mikey raise even more money so they can help even more families.”

Mikey added: “This is such a nice thing to do to help us out towards this year’s Christmas give away. I personally would like to thank everybody who supports us all year round.”
