The team, led by Lisa Herring, are all local and wanted to help try and raise some money for Body Shop charity Children on the Edge so decided on a 5K walk along Morecambe promenade.

Lisa Herring said: "We walked from The Bath Hotel Morecambe (who kindly let us use their socially distanced pub for our meeting point) up to the climbing wall in Heysham and then back to the Bath Hotel.

"There were so many lovely passers-by and people sitting in cafes who kindly donated on the day. We raised a total of £435 for COTE."

The charity that Body Shop supports is called Children On The Edge (COTE).

COTE supports some of the most marginalised children around the world, to realise their rights through the provision of education.

It focuses on the children who are pushed to the edge of their societies and overlooked by governments, larger agencies and the international media.

It was founded by the owner of Body Shop, Anita Roddick in 1990.

The charity has raised over £270k in the past three years alone.

The money raised by Lisa Herring and her team will help children in places such as Uganda, Bangladesh and India.
