A paint shop in St Albans is hoping to help raise £25,000 for a children’s charity.

Lavendergreen is holding a special late night event to help raise the money for the NSPCC.

Sara Williams, NSPCC regional corporate fundraising manager, said: "We are delighted that Lavendergreen is supporting the NSPCC. The money raised will help us to run our vital services and helplines that are so often a lifeline for vulnerable children and young people. It will make a massive difference to the lives of children in Hertfordshire and across the UK.

"Ninety per cent of our funding comes from donations and we simply couldn’t continue to provide our services without the continued generosity of supporters like Lavendergreen."  

The event will take place on Friday, November 21 from 5.30pm until 9pm at the store in London Road.
