A BIG-HEARTED bank in Droitwich Spa has held a fundraising drive in aid of needy children.

Alliance and Leicester, in Victoria Square, is collecting cash for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).

The branch is donating £1 to the charity every time a credit card or current account application is made, and £2 for every personal loan application made.

The last opportunity to support the charity is this Friday.

Spa branch manager Kay Hargreaves said: "The NSPCC is a charity that Alliance and Leicester has always been keen to support."
