A TOWN building society gave customers a fright with a Halloween party fundraiser.

Staff at West Bromwich Building Society, High Street, put on the party to raise money for Help the Aged.

Customers were met by staff dressed as ghosts and ghouls last Friday, and were even invited to dress up themselves.

The day included raffles, competitions and donation collections.

All money raised by the Bromsgrove branch, which recently took part in a tandem bike ride for Help the Aged, will go towards a grand total of £5,000, from other branches.

Vicki Randall, from West Bromwich Building Society, said: "It was a great day we had a really good turn out.

"It was also a very good time because all the children were not at school and could also really enjoy the day."
