STAFF at Halton Housing Trust got into the World Cup spirit to raise money for children's charities.

A football-themed day, supporting charity Give a Child a Chance, was organised to coincide with the start of the World Cup.

Employees were each asked to donate £2 to show their support for the England team.

The money raised will help fund children's groups and charities across Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and Lancashire.

Customers who visited the offices during the day were handed a small England memento.
