MILKMEN at a Kidderminster dairy are to hand over £200 to the National Osteoporosis Society.

Midlands Co-op Dairies staff are supporting the society's annual osteoporosis month, to help promote the importance of protecting bones.

"Calcium's the single most important nutrient for building, strong, healthy bones and preventing and treating osteoporosis," said Kate Fuller, assistant marketing manager at Stourport Road-based dairy.

Annie Hartwright, West Midlands co-ordinator for the National Osteoporosis Society, said she was delighted at the firm's support.

Midlands Co-op Dairies will present the money to the society on Monday, June 2.
