CHARITY collectors were in the pink when they collected more than £130 in just a few hours from generous shoppers at Kidderminster’s Tesco last Saturday (April 14) for Cancer Research UK.

The Tesco Turns Pink event followed a collection at the store earlier this year by members of the charity’s Wyre Forest Committee for World Cancer Day which raised more than £250.

The committee is also “delighted” to report that the previous published total of £900 from at its Big Breakfast at Hartlebury Village Hall last month, has been boosted by further donations to £1,150.
