SHOPS and businesses in Redditch were tickled pink raising money for breast cancer research.

A group from the Market Place Cancer Research UK shop donned wigs and pink outfits, sold pink items and asked for donations from shoppers to raise as much money as possible for the cause.

Office workers at recruitment agency Pertemps, in Church Green, dressed to impress in their pink nightwear and pink fluffy slippers for a pyjama party.

All their temporary workforce of more than 140 people throughout Redditch were also asked to join in - and people popping into the office could sample pink-themed food and drink.
