FUNDRAISING for Manorlands has taken on a new face.

Workers at a conveyor belt manufacturer grew beards to raise cash for the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice.

Each participant at Habasit UK's Bingley production unit paid £10, and doubled the money to shave it off!

With additional donations from other staff and match funding from the company, whose headquarters are at Silsden, £530 was raised.

The venture was staged after a good friend of an employee was admitted to Manorlands.

Jodie Batters, a fundraising assistant at the hospice, collected the cheque.

She said: "It was lovely to meet enthusiastic members of the team and thank them.

"This is a fantastic achievement and what a great way to come together and raise funds."
