KIND-HEARTED members of staff from Madeira Nursery put their best feet forward to raise a four-figure sum for Ardgowan Hospice. 

Nine members of staff brought in a combined £1595 for the vital charity by completing a sponsored climb of Conic Hill in the Trossachs National Park.

The total was raised thanks to the kindness of members of staff and their families, as well as nursery pupils' parents, aunties, uncles and grandparents. 

The donation drive even received contributions from some local families whose children have graduated from the nursery.
