A Cleveland firm has proved a real sucker for Children in Need
A Cleveland firm has proved a real sucker for Children in Need! Youngsters and parents pitched in all day long for the appeal as the massive vacuum from a Billingham form swallowed up cash up to £ 1000. The high-powered vacuum, owned by Wistech Industrial Services, is used to clean waste from equipment at industrial plants. The firm pledged to match the figure pound for pound. Pictured by the vacuum in Gilkes Street, Middlesbrough are Brian McGough, Peter Medcalf and Michelle Wrench. 8th November 1989

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, a Cleveland firm has shown their incredible support for Children in Need. The image captures the true spirit of giving as youngsters and parents gathered all day long to contribute to the appeal. A massive vacuum, owned by Wistech Industrial Services in Billingham, became the center of attention as it swallowed up cash donations reaching an astonishing £1000. This high-powered machine is typically used to clean waste from industrial plants, but on this special occasion, it became a symbol of hope and generosity. The firm went above and beyond by pledging to match every pound donated with their own contribution. Their commitment exemplifies the power of collective action when it comes to making a difference in children's lives. Posed alongside the impressive vacuum on Gilkes Street in Middlesbrough are Brian McGough, Peter Medcalf, and Michelle Wrench – individuals who embody the selflessness that defines charity work. Dressed in festive costumes reminiscent of Father Christmas himself, they add an extra touch of joy and excitement to this charitable endeavor. This snapshot transports us back to November 8th, 1989 – a time when communities came together for noble causes without hesitation or reservation. It serves as a reminder that even small acts of kindness can have an immeasurable impact on those less fortunate.
