THE Children's Heart Federation will now be able to send two local children on trips to Chester Zoo and Blue Planet Aquarium, thanks to funds donated by Thring Townsend solicitors.

The money was raised by staff who paid £1 or more to wear jeans to work for the day.

All three of Thring Townsend's offices in Swindon, Bath and Newbury took part and raised £168 for The Children's Heart Foundation's Grant a Wish Appeal.

Amanda Harrison, fundraiser at the charity, said: "We are delighted to send two seriously ill Wiltshire children, age three and six, and their families away for a short break."
