FOR the second year running Midlands Co-op Department Store in Bell Street, Wigston, Leicestershire, supported local artists by displaying works of art from Bushloe Art Society, with a percentage of all sales going to the society&#039s chosen charity, Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Bruce Whitehead, manager at Midlands Co-op Department store said: "We were delighted to supporting this popular exhibition again. It gave the local community the opportunity to view some unique paintings.
"We will be again donating a percentage of all sales to our chosen charity Marie Curie Cancer Care. Last year &#163 300 went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK."
