STUDENTS at Otley College will be turning up to class kitted out in their favourite football shirt tomorrow to raise money for charity.

They will be joined by teaching staff for tomorrow'sWear Your Town Shirt to Work day, which is being held in aid of the Somebody's Daughter appeal.

Otley is one of several organisations backing the event, with those turning up in an Ipswich shirt donating £1 for the privilege.

Canaries supporters keen to support their team on the eve of the East Anglian derby can even wear the yellow and green of Norwich City - but they will have to pay £2.

John Nice from Otley College said: “Otley is delighted to be supporting the Evening Star's Wear your Town Shirt to Work day.

“It is a great idea and a perfect opportunity to get in the mood for the East Anglian derby, while raising some money and the profile of the Somebody's Daughter appeal.”

Meanwhile, staff at Suffolk County Council and Ipswich Borough Council will also be ditching their usual office attire and going to work in football shirts.

The proceeds from the day will go to Somebody's Daughter, a registered charity seeking to provide professional help to vulnerable young people in Ipswich caught up in vice and drug addiction.
