We’re digging pink for charity

Scores of staff at an engineering and civil engineering construction company in Southampton have been digging deep in the nationwide fight against breast cancer.

Women from family-owned Trant donned everything from pink cowgirl hats to fluorescent tutus for Wear It Pink Day, in aid of the Breast Cancer Campaign.

They were ticked pink as well when a JCB tractor rolled on to the forecourt at Trant’s headquarters in Rushington to create a surprise stage prop for this photograph.

Monies are still coming in for pledges made for the ladies’ participation in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with £614 raised to date.

Nikki Pullen, a personal assistant and one of the organisers, said: “Whilst this was a bit of fun, there is a serious point to the fundraising, with one in eight women diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK – and that is one in eight too many.

“We are proud to play a part in helping the Breast Cancer Campaign charity fund the research projects with the greatest potential to save and improve lives and, ultimately, to find a cure for breast cancer.”
