A DERBYSHIRE hospice has been given £400 by staff who paid to take part in a dress-down day at work.

Workers at Nottingham call centre Domestic and General donned jeans and t-shirts to raise money for Risley-based Treetops Hospice.

Kate Shaw, from Treetops, said: "I'm delighted that Domestic and General staff have shown their commitment to the appeal in this way. It is a really important time in our fundraising as building work has now started at the hospice."

Deborah Martin, operations manager at D&G, said: "We are pleased to support Treetops and do our bit for local charities. They provide a great service and we are only too happy to help out."
