Council Raise Money For Madeleine Fund

Staff at Wear Valley District Council will participate in a dress down day on Friday to raise money for the Madeleine McCann Fighting Fund.

Staff will be invited to pay £1 in order to swap their shirts and suits for a less formal attire for the day and all cash raised will go to the fund set up by the family of the missing four-year-old.

The Council holds bi-monthly fundraising events for charities and decided to choose Madeleine's fund as this month's nominated charity after lots of workers expressed an interest in raising cash for the youngster.
