HAIR RAISING: Staff at Progress Housing Group had a "wear a wacky wig to work day" in aid of last Friday's Children in Need appeal, organised by the BBC. They raised £200 from a staff collection, plus a donation from the group's charity committee. Pictured left to right are Stuart Barnes, progress development officer, Kerri Macnamee, an administration worker and chief executive Russell Atkinson. This year's running total has already overtaken the £12.9m raised in last year's appeal.
