THE county's elderly people have been doing their bit to raise cash for local services.
Members of Age Concern Herefordshire & Worcestershire have been busy knitting little woolly hats to raise money for local services.
The hats will go on the lid of Innocent drinks and be sold in Sainsbury's and EAT cafs. For each hat created, Age Concern receives 50p to help older people keep warm this winter.
The knitters joined more than 90 Age Concerns from across the UK in Supergran challenge, and managed to knit 1,871 hats which will raise £879.37.
The hat-wearing bottles went on sale in EAT cafs on November 20 for four weeks and in Sainsbury's stores from Monday, November 27, for two weeks. Innocent will donate 25p from the sale of each bottle, with the stores involved donating an additional 25p throughout the promotion.
Gordon Lishman, director general of Age Concern, said: "We have made a staggering 160,000 hats that will raise at least £80,000 for Age Concern. Thank you to everyone."
