Store girls put on their breast effort for charity

The five female employees of Dorothy Perkins turned underwear into outerwear in aid of Breast Cancer Care.

The unusual dress sense was one of the ways they highlighted the work of the good cause as well as helping to raise 275 for its work.

Deputy manager Nicky Pope said 17 businesses around the town had supported the London Road shop by donating prizes for a raffle.

"It was the first time we had done anything like this. There was a good atmosphere in the shop '“ everybody who came was getting involved in what we were doing," she said.

The special day was the store's contribution to a company-wide awareness week for Breast Cancer Care.
