STAFF at Virgin Mobile, Trowbridge helped raise £1,500 for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance with an action-packed fun day.

Employees at the mobile phone giant, on the White Horse Business park, enjoyed a day filled with tombolas, raffles, dressing-up and games, all in the name of charity.

Money from the fun-day in August was donated to Air Ambulance paramedics on Wednesday.

Events co ordinator Lisa Cogdell-Brown said: "We are very pleased with the amount raised. It is money given by staff which makes it a bit more special."

The Wiltshire-based charity is one of four supported by Virgin Mobile this year.

A fun day will be held for the Dorothy House hospice at Winsley next month while the mobile phone firm's Trowbridge headquarters will be one of the call centres for this year's Children in Need appeal.

Cancer Research is the fourth charity picked by Virgin Mobile staff.
