A caring group of mums have raised £500 for the Rupert Bear pre-school.

The cash will go towards providing children with a book corner and replacing storage sheds at their home in The Knares, Lee Chapel South.

Crowds of people visited the bazaar on Saturday (11), which featured a range of stalls including tombola, silk flower arrangement and nail painting.

As a special treat the children also got to see Santa in his grotto.

Vice-chairman of the mums' committee, Tanya Hill said: "It went really well."
