STAFF at Kidderminster's Tesco store got on their bike to help raise £230 for Kemp Hospice.

Twelve up-for-it members of staff did a 20-minute stint on an exercise bike, courtesy of Kidderminster exercise centre, Fitness First.

While they pedalled away, they asked shoppers to sponsor them in return for being entered in a draw for a £50 Tesco voucher.

Jayne Alaya, one of the organisers of the event, said: "It was a good way of helping Kemp and raising awareness of the importance of exercise as well. It seemed very popular."
