STAFF from Homes in Sedgemoor got messy for charity as they took part in The Great Somerset Colour Run. 

The determined staff were covered in brightly coloured powdered paint as they ran around the 5km course at Wincanton Racecourse on May 21. 

Teresa Young, community fundraiser at St Margaret's in Bridgwater said: "We are absolutely thrilled that Homes in Sedgemoor have chosen St Margaret's Hospice as their charity of the year. 

"The Great Somerset Colour run was a fantastic success this year and we can't thank the team at Sedgemoor enough.

  "They raised an incredible £550. 

"This amount could pay for our community team in the Bridgwater area to make five visits to patients facing a life limiting illness and their families facing a life limiting illness."
