OLLIE the elephant helped a Widnes bank to raise £537 for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

Staff at Santander Bank in Albert Road held two fun days on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27.

Cakes were on sale and there was plenty of family fun as children had their faces painted.

The company matched the money raised to reach a total of £1,074.

Branch director Natalie Davis said: “We had a very successful two days.”
