Arena staff raise money for charity

Staff and Middleton Heartline members in their pyjamas

Staff at the Middleton arena swapped their uniforms for their pyjamas in aid of Comic Relief this year.

In a bid to do ‘something funny for money’ staff and members of the Middleton Heartline Group, who meet at the arena, raised £160.56 for comic relief.

A spokesperson for the arena said: “Throughout the day a member of staff was based on the front of house looking foolish in pyjamas but all for a good cause collecting donations from the public.”
