Staff from a Brighton supermarket gave their customers a fright by dressing up in ghoulish Halloween costumes to raise money for charity.
The staff, who work at Sainsbury’s in New England Street, also raffled a Halloween themed cake to raise funds for the Rockinghorse children’s charity.
Lucy Kilshaw, from Sainsbury’s, said: “The benefit of helping a local charity is that the end results are there for us to see and, though we hope it won’t come to it, for our children to use.
“As a company I feel it is our duty to give something back.
“And while our fundraising efforts were fun, on a more serious note, I hope it will also lead to other businesses supporting the charity.”
Ria Wilson, corporate fundraiser for Rockinghorse, said: “We’re so grateful to Sainsbury’s for their fantastic fundraising ideas.
“We’re always on the lookout for companies to get involved, so please get in touch if you can help.”

Rockinghorse holds its main annual fundraiser – the Rockinghorse ball – at the Hilton Brighton Metropole in just over a fortnight on Saturday 20 November.
