BrightHouse's partnership with learndirect continues to strengthen, with nine stores working in collaboration with local learndirect centres. BrightHouse stores carry learndirect point of sale, and enable easy access to the internet so that customers can search and gain access from the stores.

Speaking about BrightHouse's community involvement, Chief Executive, Leo McKee said, "BrightHouse prides itself on the relationships we have with our customers, and we are committed to helping the local communities where we operate. The Fun Leicester Day enabled us to make a genuine difference to Rays of Sunshine and the children that the charity supports."
