CHILDREN in Swindon have been having fun while helping those less fortunate than themselves.

The local branch of the NSPCC has been presented with a cheque for £2,000 by Franco Muccini, centre manager at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Village.

The money was raised over the last year on the bouncy slide at the Designer Outlet Village.

The NSPCC has two centres in Swindon.

Swindon Centre in Old Town is a therapeutic centre which helps children who have been abused come to terms with what has happened to them, and North Swindon Family Centre offers help and advice to all parents and children in the area on anything to do with families and good parenting.
