STAFF from a rural Worcestershire business donned wellies to raise awareness of going green'.

Natural skincare company Elysia, based near Inkberrow, took part in Wear Your Wellies to Work Day on Friday, April 25, part of National Welly Week.

Their aim was to raise awareness and funds for Garden Organic, the country's first public biodynamic garden based at Ryton, Warwickshire.

Sebastian Parsons, chief executive of Elysia, the only UK distributors of the Dr Hauschka organic skincare range, said: "We all wore our wellies for the day. I wore them to meetings, our trainers wore them when teaching beauty therapists how to give the Dr Hauschka treatments and the warehouse team were running around packing customer orders in their wellies."

The appropriately-dressed employees also went on a farm walk near their offices.
