Tuesday 23 May 2006

Beverley Webster OBE, managing director of Prosperis financial services in Leeds, has enlisted Sir Jimmy Savile to help raise money for the Cavendish Cancer Support Centre.

Staff at Prosperis hope to raise at least £20,000 by creating a snake of £1 coins that stretches 400m around Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield.

Bradford based online banner shop www.thebannerpeople.com, has donated a 5m banner for display at Meadowhall Shopping Centre to help promote the event.

The fun filled event, which includes music and entertainment, will take place at Meadowhall on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th May.
