Shoppers at a Colchester store have dug deep to raise a record sum for charity - but it hasn't all been hard work.

Customers at Williams and Griffin were able to enjoy an evening of indulgence and the attentions of alternative therapists during a well woman week as they did their bit for the Essex Autistic Society.
Staff at the High Street shop, meanwhile, donned their glad rags for a James Bond-themed Christmas party and took home prizes from a fundraising draw.
Together, their efforts made £3,721 for the Colchester-based EAS, bringing the firm's charity-of-the-year total for the past three years to £9,324.
In addition to this, it has donated, in the past two years, nearly £1,700 worth of raffle prizes to other local organisations.
