Nnorth Bradley Christmas Fayre raised £755.40 for The Forever Friends Appeal on Saturday.

The event, at North Bradley Memorial Hall, had stalls selling festive gifts while there was also a raffle and tasty treats on sale.

The appeal aims to raise £8million towards a new cancer care unit at Royal United Hospital, Bath, which is expected to open in 2017.

The memorial hall event was planned by Linda Howse and Liz Abbotts, who are members of The North Bradley Be a Brick fundraising group.

Mrs Howse said: “We had a steady stream of people visiting and we are pleased to have raised so much.”

This year, the group, which has 12 members, has raised around £2,500 for the campaign. The new centre will cost £23.5m in total and aims to improve cancer care in the South West.
