ACROSS Mid-Cheshire raised almost £800 during a weekend fund-raising bonanza in Middlewich.

The fund-raising team were at Somerfield in Middlewich on Friday and Saturday and Blakemere Craft Centre on Sunday. With lots of fun and activities going on and the organisers in fancy dress, people came in droves to lend their support.

The money will go towards a holiday for disabled people with able-bodied helpers accompanying them next summer. Organiser Sue Bailey said: "Lots of people who know us came. They were all so generous and I want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped."

There are more charity ventures planned including a Chinese Banquet and an entertainment show with illusions, singing and a disco. For information on these events or about Across Mid-Cheshire contact Sue Bailey on 01606 834264.
