It's full steam ahead for champion fundraiser Joyce Long in her attempts to raise cash for Southend Hospital.

Joyce, who runs a charity shop in Thundersley, now has some old toy boats and fine oil lamps for sale.

All cash will be ploughed into a fund to buy a laser for the hospital's ENT department.

Joyce's charity shop is opposite the Zach Willsher pub in Church Road, Thundersley.

Buyers please - Joyce with items for sale at the charity shop
