Bank staff got into the Christmas spirit by dressing up as Father Christmas and his elves in aid of the Hospice of the Good Shepherd.

The Hospice of the Good Shepherd helps to improve the quality of life for those living with any incurable illness and gives support to families and friends.

Bank staff ran a grotto earlier this month to raise funds for the much loved hospice.

Julian Brooks, director commercial banking, Chester and South Cheshire, said: “Working alongside our business banking, private banking and retail colleagues, the team have raised more than £5,000 for this hospice already this year – plus a further £1,500 generated from the recent fundraiser alone. Well done all.”
