Journalists wore flip-flops to work in aid of a charity campaign marking their newspaper’s 125th anniversary.

South Wales Argus staff took part in the fundraising event for the Newport-based daily’s 125 appeal.

The campaign aims to recruit 125 teams of fundraisers St David’s Hospice Care, in Newport.

Argus staff raised more than £160 for the cause through the event.

The appeal was launched by the Argus at the start of this year

Editor Nicole Garnon said: “We wanted to do something fun to raise money for the appeal. This is the first of many fundraising activities we will be doing.

“Several staff took part and we had some great prizes in the raffle. We look forward to raising more money.

“We are recruiting people from all over the region to take part in this special appeal that will help the St David’s Hospice Care.”
