A group of Malvern Hills College students are putting the final touches to their costumes in preparation for a fancy-dress walk around Malvern.

The event, to raise money for Children in Need, takes place on Tuesday, November 18.

The all-girl group will set off armed with collection buckets from Malvern Hills College at 12.30pm. They hope to be back at the college by 6.30pm.

The circular route will take them through the town centre, Barnards Green, Malvern Retail Park and Malvern Link. Collection stops along the way include Waitrose and Safeway.

Stephanie Chapman, aged 16, said: "At the moment there are about nine of us taking part. My friend will be dressed as Pudsey Bear and the rest of us will be nurses, schoolgirls and cheerleaders.

"We wanted to raise money for the cause and wanted to do something a bit different."
