Staff and customers at a Doncaster supermarket helped raise hundreds for Children In Need with a day of fundraising activites, including a head shave and charity bike ride.

Asda in Carcroft was a sea of yellow and even enjoyed a visit from Pudsey Bear as staff threw themselves into a series of challenges to raise more than £750.

Store community champion Tracie Northedge said: “We had a fantastic day on Friday. The local community, colleagues and friends showed so much generosity.”

One store worker, Casey, cycled 52 miles – equivalent to two marathons, thanks to Ashleigh and Connan Murray from Eco Fitness who donated a bicycle for the challenge.
