VOLUNTEERS from the West Bromwich Building Society in Worcester got the brooms and paintbrushes out to help with a spring clean at the city’s Acorns Children’s Hospice.
A 10-strong team spent a day painting and decorating, gardening and cleaning at Acorns, the society’s chosen charity for the year.
Gary Clarke, a senior systems analyst with the building society, said: “It was great to get together with colleagues and help Acorns.
“We all found it a rewarding experience and would love to return. It also brought it home how important the care it offers to children and their families really is.”
Katreena Barnes, volunteers manager at the hospice, said: “We are delighted that the West Brom is not only raising money for Acorns but also giving us practical help. The volunteers were enthusiastic and we really appreciate their efforts.”
