A registered charity, The Franchise Trust’s mission is to help secure access to franchise information, education and opportunities for individuals who would otherwise be disadvantaged in gaining access to it because of youth, late age, educational background, social circumstance, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
Emily Price, the bfa’s chief operating officer and trustee and director of The Franchise Trust, says: “Thank you to everybody who donated a prize for such a worthy cause and to all those who put in a bid.
“It was a fantastic evening and we are grateful the industry helped raise money for such a worthy cause.”
The Winter Wonderland evening followed the bfa’s annual general meeting, where the association’s work over the previous 12 months was discussed.
