A CHARITY car wash in Brierley Hill will help raise cash for the children's ward at Russells Hall Hospital.

Pro Shine hand car wash, based at the Jet petrol station in Dudley Road, will be hosting the event on December 18.

Staff have offered to work for free on the day and all of the takings will be donated to the Dudley hospital.

Business owner, Naser Mahmood, said he hopes the event, which will run from 8am to 6pm, will help raise £500 for the unit to spend on any equipment it may need.

He is also encouraging customers to bring along Christmas presents, such as new crayons and colouring books, which will be given to the poorly youngsters spending the festive season in hospital.
