A FOODBANK manager has raised £200 by wearing fancy dress for seven days up to Christmas Eve.

Karen Milne, Launceston Foodbank manager, said there are 'a lot' of day to day running costs to be able to open the foodbank, for which the money raised will be used.

Karen added: "Unfortunately, there are not many grants available for running costs of a charity. It is essential to raise funds to be able to continue to help the residents of Launceston and surrounding areas who find themselves in crisis.

"If anyone would like to donate or would like to fundraise with us please contact us on 779550."
