STAFF dressed as Disney characters will serve the food at a Worcester caf on Saturday, when there will be also be face painting and children's competitions.

The fun day at the Eurest caf in the High Street branch of Woolworths is to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital, where five-year-old Danielle Hefti, of Dalegarth Court, Warndon, Worcester, is being treated for a rare form of cancer.

"Danielle's grandmother, Edna Hefti, works here and we wanted to do something to support her," said manager Andrea Riddle.

"All 10 of my staff will be wearing fancy dress and we will have raffles, special offers and handouts, as well as charity boxes for customers' donations."

Danielle has been receiving chemotherapy at the hospital since April, when she was diagnosed with Wilms Tumour, a kidney cancer that had spread to her stomach, lungs and pelvis.
