Estate agency Stephenson Browne has thrown its support behind a fundraising raffle aiming to raise money for nine local primary schools.

The firm has become the exclusive partner of the fundraiser, which is raising money for primary schools within The Learning Partnership multi-academy trust.

Stephenson Browne has kick-started the fundraising with a £1,000 donation, guaranteeing money will go towards the schools regardless of the final amount raised through ticket sales.

More than 100 raffle tickets have already been sold, with organisers hoping the total will continue to grow.

And there is a major prize on offer: seven VIP hospitality tickets to see either Muse or Kasabian at Manchester's Co-op Live.

Tickets for the raffle cost £5 each, with money raised helping to provide resources, equipment and opportunities for children across the nine schools.

A spokesperson for Stephenson Browne said: "We're delighted to be supporting this fantastic fundraiser! It has been a pleasure to get involved with a project where everyone shares a genuine passion for raising money for local schools.

"Stephenson Browne is always committed to giving back to the communities we serve, and this initiative will make a real difference to nine primary schools across the area.

The raffle forms part of efforts to support the nine primary schools within The Learning Partnership, with every £5 ticket purchased adding to the money available to benefit pupils.

The winner will be able to choose between VIP hospitality for Muse or Kasabian at Co-op Live in Manchester.
