COUNCIL workers, who brought some fairytale magic to the office, have raised £570 for a children's charity.

Staff in Newcastle City Council's business development unit dressed up as pantomime favourites such as Cinderella and Prince Charming.

They collected money from colleagues in aid of the Rainbow Trust, which supports North-East families with children who are suffering terminal or life-limiting conditions.

The unit has raised more than £1,700 for various good causes over the past 12 months.
