STAFF from Ballard Dale Syree Watson Chartered Accountants took part in a charity sports day in aid of Worcestershire-based charity Sight Concern.

Eight business from around Bromsgrove turned out at the event, and competed in an egg and spoon race, a three-legged race and a sack race.

Team coach and Ballards accounts director, Michelle Hammett, of Bromsgrove, said: "It was a fun way to get some exercise and work as a team but more importantly to raise some money for the charity.”

The event raised £1,100 for Sight Concern, which supports blind and partially sighted people to lead independent lives.
