SCHOOLS and businesses came up trumps to raise thousands of pounds for Kemp Hospice's Wear Yellow Day.
Friday's event, for national Hospice Sunflower Month, involved people wearing or selling anything in yellow. l Kevin Williams, of BAe Systems gives colleague Phil Mock a custard soaking during Friday's fund-raiser.
Staff from BAe Systems at Summerfield raised £410 from a mad hatter's pub crawl in Bewdley and from sponsoring employee Phil Mock to sit in a custard bath at the factory entrance.
The district's Co-op stores raised £265 and Kemp is still waiting for final figures from Morton Fisher Solicitors, Littlewoods, Barclays Bank in Bewdley, and Kidderminster's benefits office and B and Q, as well as nine schools.
Fund-raising assistant at the cancer charity Helen McTighe said: "We are hoping the final figure will be between £3,000 and £4,000 which would be brilliant for our first year taking part."
