DEBT collectors in Stoke Prior are taking part in a week of fundraising for Children In Need.

Controlaccount Plc, based in Waterside, has organised cake sales, old pound coin collections, raffles, sweepstakes and a 'Wear Your Pyjamas To Work Day' to run through next week, in aid of a cause close to the chairman's heart.

Graham Ball recently completed a trek around Brazilian rainforests to raise money for The Victoria Project - another children's charity which funds life-enhancing medical support.

Controlaccount managing director David Harvey said: "Children In Need is a great event and, with so many millions of pounds pledged on the night each year, we are very proud to be involved and contribute however we can.

"The focus is very much on fun and giving what you are able to in order to support underprivileged children and their families.”
