STAFF at a building support company rolled their sleeves up for a charity car wash.

The Screwfix Foundation team – the business’s charity to support projects to fix, repair and improve properties for those in need – cleaned cars and vans.

Half of the proceeds will go to the charity, which donates funding to help repair buildings and improve facilities in deprived areas. Projects include decorating the homes of people with disabilities.

Philip Humphrey, assistant manager, said half of the proceeds of the car wash – held at Screwfix’s premises off Leeds Road – and another on July 7, will go to Kirkwood Hospice in Dalton.
