People all over Wiltshire went dotty to raise money for a much-loved hospice in Winsley near Bradford on Avon.

The annual Dotty Day for Dorothy House was held on Wednesday with a host of fundraising events held at schools and firms across the county.

Those using the weigh bridge at EJ Shanley’s recycling centre in Trowbridge donated money to guess the number of sweets in the jar.

About £30 was raised through the game, with a further £100 donated by the company.

At BLB Solicitors in Church Street, Bradford on Avon, dotty cakes and fancy dress helped to raise about £40.

Legal executive Alison New said: “It has been fun. Everyone has really enjoyed having the cakes.”

Pupils at Lypiatt Primary School, in Neston, have made dotty biscuits to be sold to parents and friends while a giant Easter egg was raffled off by traders on the Hackett Place development in Paxcroft Mead, Hilperton.
