THE Redditch branch of TSB recently held a fundraising event for charity Where Next.

The branch held a coffee and cake sale, as well as doing a sponsored bike ride.

In the past 12 months the branch has held similar events and raised more than £1,600 for the charity, which helps people with special needs achieve their full potential.

Lizomon Mapranath, from the bank, said it was a great day.

"We always look forward to holding these type of events," he said.

"On the day we raised around £250 but the money is still coming in. We're now looking forward to the next one."

Redditch Councillor Bill Hartnett said: "Where Next is a local charity which does a great job. I was happy to attend and give my support, and it was nice to meet up and chat with Jo Wood who works at Where Next.

"The cake was great and I even managed to burn off a few calories on the bike."
