Beard baubles: Telford housing staff dress up for Christmas charity appeal
Telford housing staff went all out to look the part for a Christmas jumper charity appeal, with one man decking out his beard with baubles.
The Wrekin Housing Trust held a fundraiser for Save the Children's Christmas jumper day campaign, and fashionista Ed Thomas spruced up his facial hair for the cause.
Organiser Dona Guy said: “So many colleagues have put in so much effort and together we have raised money for a fabulous cause. We’re still counting the donations but we expect our grand total will be around £500.”
Ed said: “I wanted to push the boat out so when beard baubles and fairy lights were suggested I decided I’d raise some money for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
"The charity is totally self-funding and provides free accommodation to families who have children receiving treatment in hospital, there are 12 houses in the UK."
Ed set an individual target of £200 and has an online fundraiser at justgiving.com/fundraising/edchristmasbeard.
Fellow fundraiser Jade Dodd said: “We presented prizes to our best dressed colleagues with Jonathan Buckley, and Laura Eales, for her sprout outfit, winning the best individual prizes. David Hall was also highly commended.”
