SPENDING a whole day handcuffed together enabled six colleagues to raise around £500 for charity.

The shareholder services department at IAG came up with the idea to collect as much money as possible for the Guernsey branch of the Riding for the Disabled Association.

On Thursday, the six spent the day handcuffed in pairs, dressed in orange prison-style jumpsuits.

Assistant manager Andrew Le Tissier said, tongue-in-cheek, that it had been painful.
