IN THE build-up to spooky Hallowe’en festivities, NSPCC is urging people in Somerset to make green their costume colour of choice to raise awareness of the charity.

The NSPCC’s community fundraising manager for Somerset, Anna Keir, said: “Whatever you do this Hallowe’en, why not make it gruesomely green and raise money for the NSPCC at the same time.

“Anyone can take part, and the possibilities are endless. Fancy dress, parties, food and drink stalls, face painting, quizzes – just remember the green theme.”
