A CHARITY concert last month raised more than £1,500 for new facilities at Launceston Hospital.

The concert held at Launceston Central Methodist Church in November raised £1,576 and was handed over to Launceston Hospital's League of Friends at their recent Christmas coffee morning event.

The money will go towards the friends' campaign for a new minor injuries unit.

The concert which was sponsored by Specsavers of Launceston was well attended at £6 a ticket, with performances from Launceston Male Voice Choir and Tregadillett Songbirds.
