THE Kidderminster branch of equipment rental company, Hewden, played a part in a photographic shoot to raise awareness of childhood liver disease.

The company provided a cherry picker to help take an elevated picture of 730 schoolchildren, to symbolise the number of children who will be diagnosed with the disease this year.

It was organised by the Midlands-based Children's Liver Disease Foundation.

Stuart Southall, manager of Hewden's Kidderminster branch, said: "When we heard about the number of children involved, we were only too pleased to offer our help."
