A COMMUNITY group managed to raise hundreds of pounds for an essential charity dedicated to funding research into a specific cancer.
The Clacton-on-Sea Lions Club set up shop at the popular and hugely successful Great Bentley Village Show.
During the afternoon members from the group sold a range of costume jewellery while also running a Prize Every Time soft toy game.
In total, their efforts generated an impressive £337, of which £136 will now be donated to the Brain Tumour Research Appeal.
Liz Godden, from the Clacton-on-Sea Lions Club, said: “We would like to say a big thank you to all who came to see us at the Great Bentley Village Show.
“We are absolutely delighted to let you know we raised the fantastic total of £337 at the event.
“£136 of this total was from sales of the lovely costume jewellery, which will be donated to The Brain Tumour Research Appeal.
“Thank you all again - we could not do what we do without your continued support.”
