Two Swindon Domino's stores raised £3,250 for Teenage Cancer Trust by opening on Christmas Day.

The Old Town and West Swindon branches served customers from 10am to 3am, donating all profits to the charity.

This marks the fifth consecutive year the stores have supported the Teenage Cancer Trust, which aids 28 specialist units across the UK, including one in Bristol.

The Swindon team also delivered more than 40 pizzas to staff at the Great Western Hospital.

Lindsey Jones, marketing manager for Domino's, said: "The team spirit during these shifts is incredible.

"We are proud to be able to support Teenage Cancer Trust for a fifth year.

"I want to thank everyone who worked and all our customers, who hopefully enjoyed some fresh, piping hot pizza on Christmas Day."

Domino's has raised nearly £8 million for the Teenage Cancer Trust, which funds specialist nurses and hospital units within the NHS.

Fern West, senior partnership manager at Teenage Cancer Trust, said: "Once again, we would like to say a huge thank you to the Swindon Domino's team for this generous donation.

"Everything we provide to get young people with cancer through the toughest times imaginable – our specialist hospital units, nurses and youth teams – are entirely dependent on the money we’re able to fundraise."

Teenage Cancer Trust relies solely on donations to fund its work.
