KIND staff from a Greenock funeral directors are taking on a charity challenge to raise awareness of mental health issues.

The team at Co-op Funeralcare in West Blackhall Street will help cover 100km in May to generate funds for the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) and MIND.

Staff will be running, walking and cycling to reach the milestone together with other Co-op Funeralcare branches in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area.

The charity champions have already smashed through the £1,000 barrier to reach £1,700 with three weeks still to go.

Co-op Funeralcare service manager Pauline Spittal said: "Everyone is very supportive of one another and this challenge has brought us closer together as a team."
