A BUSINESS in Bridgwater has raised £680 for charity - by wearing their most colourful shirts.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions (TSS) took part in a Shirty Thirty fundraising campaign for Children's Hospice South West (CHSW).
Staff managed to raise £340 for their efforts, and the total was doubled by the company - bringing the donation to £680.
Winners of the best and worst shirt were Stuart Clark and Dave Kirk.
Julie Draper, area fundraiser for CHSW, said: “We were thrilled to hear that the team at TSS in Bridgwater voted unanimously to support Children’s Hospice South West.
"They fully embraced Shirty Thirty which was launched to mark the 30th anniversary year of CHSW. We’d like to thank them for taking part and raising vital funds.”
In the last 30 years, CHSW has supported more than 2,000 families at its three children’s hospices – Charlton Farm in North Somerset, Little Bridge House in North Devon, and Little Harbour Cornwall – care that has continued throughout the pandemic.
