BIG-hearted staff from the Wirral and West Cheshire Community NHS Trust have had their fund-raising efforts rewarded with a top charity award.

The Healthstart Silver Charity Award was given after the Trust raised more than £500 for the Alzheimer's Disease Society, the official beneficiary in the 1998 NHS North West Healthstart Festival.

Trust staff raised their money through a series of healthy events, including a sponsored walk, a badminton competition and bowling.
