CHARITIES will benefit from more than £6,500 collected by Radcliffe's Rotary Club.

The people of Radcliffe donated the money as the Christmas sleigh took to the streets.

Mike Edwards, the president of Radcliffe Rotary, said the response from the public was magnificent.

He added: "The money will be spent on a host of worthy charitable causes. It's a privilege to experience the friendly welcome of Radcliffe residents."
