Staff from the LighterLife weight-loss programme took the streets of Brighton at Christmas - raising £921 for FUN in just ninety minutes.

Alan Sugar lookalike set an Apprentice-styled challenge to the team, who pounded the pavements armed only with their wits, a list of gifts to purchase and a bag of Brighton Rock to raise funds.

Joanna Richardson, of LighterLife said: "We chose Fun in Action as it is a very worthwhile charity whose great work is often overlooked. We had a great time, going to any lengths to raise as much money as possible, and we were delighted to raise over £10 a minute!"

All our thanks go to the team at LighterLife for their hard work and Sarah King at Seriously Equipped for co-ordinating our involvement.
