COUNCIL staff ditched their usual work clothes and donned an array of wild and wacky outfits to raise money for Children in Need.

Chief Executive Yvonne Rees came dressed in a onesie and communications officer John Carter did a passable Adam Ant impression as part of the fun and games which helped raise money for the cause.

The annual fundraising extravaganza was marked by schools and businesses across Oxfordshire on Friday.

Firefighters from Bampton, Bicester ,Woodstock, Wheatley, Thame and Goring were joined by Pudsey the bear as they hit the streets with collection buckets.

South Central Ambulance Service gave the famous bear the all clear as they joined him in Woodstock.

Pudsey also made appearances at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and Oxford Children's Hospital to meet patients and help staff with their fundraising efforts.

The Yellow Submarine Charity got in on the act by decking out all the attendees of their breakfast club with yellow bear ears.
