A Bury supermarket has shown its generosity to help relief efforts in Turkey and Syria following the devastating earthquakes last week.

Following the disaster in Turkey and Syria, Tesco's Woodfields Retail Park store has collected money to support people affected.

Overall, Tesco has donated £100,000 to help provide support in the areas.  

As many staff members have friends and family who have been impacted by the tragedy, a decision was made to partner with the British Red Cross and humanitarian partners.
