STAFF at a DIY store did it themselves for charity!

The 21-strong workforce at Do-it-All, Whitebirk, Blackburn, have now won an award for their efforts in helping local community groups.

Throughout the year they have raised funds for several local charities and donated prizes for events.

And general store manager Kevin Hodgson and his staff were rewarded for their efforts with an Employees in the Community award sponsored by the voluntary service unit of the Home Office and Grand Metropolitan plc.
