Double winter wishes in Bracknell

DOUBLE wishes will be granted this festive season, thanks to The Lexicon’s Christmas campaign.

With more than 300 nominations received for friends and families, the shopping centre decided to change the original 10 wishes to 20.

Sue Boor, head of marketing at The Lexicon thanked everyone who joined the campaign.

“We were overwhelmed by the number and amazing stories behind the nominations that we received, and it was a really difficult decision to make,” she said. “We are glad to have been able to put a smile on a few faces this Christmas.”

The 20 winning nominations came from across the community, including parents, children, grandparents, friends, teachers, volunteers, key workers and NHS staff.

They were decided by Cllr Ash Merry, mayor of Bracknell Forest and Cllr Michael Titheridge, Bracknell town mayor.
