staff from HSBC's Evesham branch got their feet pumping to boost the coffers of Children in Need.

The branch organised a charity cycle ride with the aim of donating over £1,500.

The 70-mile ride took place yesterday (Wednesday) and involved three employees.

They set off from Moreton, calling at Chipping Campden, Broadway, Evesham along the way, as well as other towns in Warwickshire and north Worcestershire.

Staff at the branch dressed as the pop group, Village People to generate even more cash.

Andy Gwillam, who manages HSBC in Evesham and the north Cotswolds, said: "We're calling on customers, friends and neighbours to help us achieve our fund-raising target and so raise enough money to help Children in Need continue its great work with disadvantaged children."
