Staff from two Oxford hotels have carried out litter picks, taken part in an eight-mile run, and helped with gardening at a hospice as part of a month of fundraising and community activities.

The employees from voco Oxford Thames and voco Oxford Spires took part in the events last month for IHG's September Giving for Good programme.

As well as tidying up flower beds at Sobell House, they completed the charity run to raise money for international charity Action Against Hunger.
