A £500 donation from staff recruitment agency Premiere People in Worcester has brought the cash raised from St Richard's Hospice PJ Day to more than £7,500.

Staff at the Foregate Street firm joined thousands of others across the county who signed up to go bananas in their pyjamas in the hospice fund-raiser last month.

The fun day attracted support from a whole host of businesses and schools, as well as Worcester Mayor Allah Ditta and Worcestershire County Council chairman Coun Derek Prodger.

St Richard's Hospice fund-raising manager Tricia Cavell said: "We are very grateful to Premiere People and everyone else who joined in with us for the PJ Day.

"All the donations help the ongoing care of St Richard's for patients and families with life-threatening illness - a service we can only provide thanks to generous donations.

"We also owe a big thanks to Wyvern FM for all their help in supporting PJ Day. They helped make it a huge success."
