McDONALD'S in Worcester's Hylton Road will play host to a fiery fund-raising event on Bank Holiday Monday.

Red Watch from the city's fire brigade, along with McDonald's staff, are aiming to raise £1,000 for the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB).

It is part of a national initiative by the fast-food restaurant to raise money for the charity.

Children will be able to have a look around the fire engine and meet the firefighters.

McDonald's has also linked up with neighbouring Homebase and Currys' to provide prizes for a grand raffle.

"You never know who will be affected by blindness. It could happen to you or someone in your family," said Edna Freeman, senior customer care assistant at the branch.

"That's why we're trying to raise as much as we can from this event."

The fun will begin at 11am and will run until 3pm.
