B&Q Fun Day
D.I.Y. Fun for Charity!
I nipped down to B&Q this morning in Station Road only to discover that the manager and staff had all gone crazy! It seemed that it was all done for a good cause, they were holding a Charity Fun Day to raise money for a charity called Headway. Headway exists to increase the knowledge, funding, and caring for people who suffer serious brain injuries through accident or illness.
This looks like a summer of fun in South Shields, so it was good to see the staff at B&Q all dressed up in fancy dress costumes and rocking away to the Sun FM Radio Road Show. They had also arranged some fairground rides for the kids and some excellent tombola stalls. I guess if everything hasn't been won today, you could always pop down tomorrow and try and win a prize, and at the same time help a worthwhile charity.
Here's a picture of manager Peter Cavanagh (Darth Vader) and some of his staff, the second picture features their delivery contractor who is helping out by sitting in a bath full of beans all day.
