A GROUP of fundraisers have handed over a cheque for more than £6,000 to a cancer hospital.

The Christie Grafters, who are based in Rishton, have now collected £50,000 for the Christie Hospital, Manchester, over the last year.

The cash has been raised after a series of events including sales, fetes and auctions.

Chair of the Grafters, Lorraine Wallace, 56, said: "The generosity of people over the last 10 years has been wonderful."
