STAFF at BOC Sureflow in Worsley have raised a staggering £1,200 for local charities.

BOC staff brought in 250,000 Christmas cards for re-cycling and Jennifer Jackson transformed them into gift tags.

These were then sold for £600 -- a figure matched by BOC Sureflow Head Office.

The funds were divided between a number of local charities including Dr Kershaw's Hospice, Action for ME, Diabetes UK, Rainbow Family Trust and Willow Wood Hospice.
