Coca Cola Enterprises Ltd (CCE) and the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation have now
sold over one million soft drinks through their vending partnership, raising funds
for and awareness of the charity.

The partnership with CCE’s Northern regional office in Warrington was established
in 2007. A donation is made to the charity for every soft drink dispensed from the
vending machines with companies who participate in this fundraising initiative. 
The millionth can was purchased from the Queens Square, Liverpool branch of Yates
wine bar.

The initiative is now being rolled out to any company who would like to participate,
subject to a site survey from a CCE local representatives. All vending machines 
are clearly signposted with the charity information, and will receive a newsletter
of all the work the charity is involved in.

that touches so many people.”
