STAFF from two flooring shops are celebrating after raising £30,500 for a cancer charity.

County Durham based businesses Frank’s the Flooring Store and Connection Retail worked together over a year-long campaign in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

The money was raised by collecting donations holding a charity football match.

Dan Foskett, of Connection Retail, said: “We really value the work and care that Macmillan Cancer Support provides. The charity has helped many of our staff and their families and it’s vitally important we continue our support.”

Michelle Muir, of Macmillan Cancer Support, added: “I can’t thank Frank’s and Connection Retail enough for all their support.”
