FUNDRAISERS offered the chance to take on "Bushtucker trials" in aid of a specialist college.

Staff from Rees Astley Insurance Brokers raised more than £260 for Derwen College with a series of I'm a Celebrity -themed challenges.

The challenges, which were held at the firm's Shropshire Oktoberfest stall, raised money towards new health and leisure facilities at the Gobowen-based college for young adults with learning difficulties and disabilities.

Becca Dean, a marketing assistant at the Shrewsbury-based firm, said: "It was our second year at Oktoberfest, and we made the decision to go bigger and better than last year, launching the Rees Astley Bush Tucker Trials – as sometimes insurance can be a jungle!

"Visitors to our stand had to take part in a daunting trial which included spiders, slime and a zebra sofa, all to win a prize from our wheel of fortune, while also raising money for a wonderful local charity."

Students Jamie Bullock, Alexander Thomas and Sam Innes visited Ms Dean at the Rees Astley Shrewsbury office to thank her and the team for their support.

Ms Dean said: "With donations from generous 'contestants', we were delighted to have raised £264.38 for Derwen College, who do amazing work for young people with learning difficulties enabling them to learn and achieve their aspirations."
