A butchers shop is playing its part in raising funds for soldiers injured while serving their country.<\/p>\n
W Maiden and Son butchers, based in Brewood, is encouraging customers to guess the weight of two giant pumpkins – with the proceeds from the competition being donated to Help for Heroes, the Express & Star reports.<\/p>\n
Participants are being asked to contribute 50p to take part in the contest and the winner stands to receive a gift voucher worth £20.<\/p>\n
Bill Maiden, owner of the shop, said he and his wife were surprised to see the items grow so large.<\/p>\n
"Barbara just went there every other day and treated them the same as she would normally. We've decided they can help us raise some money for a very worthy cause," he explained.<\/p>\n
Red Lion Foods recently announced the profit it makes through selling products in supermarkets will be donated to the Help for Heroes charity.<\/p>\n
