Press Release: Trafford Centre announces partnerships with three new local charities

The Trafford Centre has announced three local charities as the new recipients of the centre’s Fountain Fund scheme for 2023 – 2024. 

Look Good Feel Better will  receive a share of the money dropped into the fountains, as well as working closely alongside the centre on fundraising and awareness-raising campaigns. 

Since the Trafford Centre opened in 1998, over £1.2million has been collected in total from the centre’s famous fountains. Every single coin generously dropped into the water is cleaned, dried and donated to the centre’s nominated charities.  

Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, said: “Trafford Centre is an active part of the community, and we’re passionate about supporting local charities and causes. Our three new charity partners are very worth recipients of our Fountain Fund scheme, and we’re looking forward to developing long-term relationships with their teams, providing opportunities such as free promotional spaces, staff volunteering days and support with awareness campaigns.”
