STAFF at Bolton's branch of the Yorkshire Building Society have celebrated being part of a national campaign to raise more than £1 million for local charities.

The Bolton branch has contributed to local organisations after arranging events such as indoor bike rides and fashion shows.

Jennifer Oakley, the branch's charity representative, said: "We have supported Bolton Hospice and Bolton Guide Dogs for the Blind. We are already thinking of more ideas and are open to suggestions from charities as to how we could help them."
