CAROL singing in Dymock , on behalf of the Family Haven in Gloucester, raised £123.

With funds added from a carol concert in the Beauchamp Arms pub, and the money from the Christmas Day collection in St Mary's Church, the grand total for the charity was £640.

Collection organiser, Chris May said "a very big thank you" to everyone who contributed to a worthy cause "which helps many vulnerable families and their children in Gloucester".
