YELLOW weather warnings and a named storm weren’t enough to stop a community group from raising hundreds of pounds for a cancer charity.

Holsworthy Lions have confirmed its recent coffee morning in aid of Macmillan cancer support raised approximately £300.

It was hailed as a success by the long-established voluntary group, which was reported to have been greatly enjoyed by those who took part in the event.

A spokesperson for Holsworthy Lions said: “Despite ‘Storm Amy’ our own whirlwind Lion Amy organised a great coffee morning in aid of Macmillan cancer nurses. We were able to raise approximately £300 in spite of the weather. Thanks to all who helped but most of all to those who supported the event.”
