A GROUP of bankers will throw off their suits and put on their overalls when they give a North Yorkshire charity shop a makeover later this month.

A Barclays Small Businesses team of 17 people will take up the challenge to paint and decorate the Old Boot Shop, in Easingwold, as part of a volunteer project run by the bank.

The craft shop and day care centre caters for disabled people and the repaint is part of the Make A Difference Day, on Monday, October 14.

The team aims to get all the work finished in one day and will also be fundraising as part of a joint initiative between Barclays and United Response.
