Staff and users of Burntwood Leisure Centre are celebrating after raising more than £600 for Children in Need.

The centre hosted an eighties disco-themed Body Combat Challenge on November 8, which saw 40 local people don their fluorescent leg warmers and sweat bands to take part in a strenuous workout led by four qualified instructors.
