THE Friends of Whitchurch Community Hospital has accepted a donation of the funds raised at last year's Christmas Fun Day.

The Christmas Fun Day, organised by Lynton and Yvonne McRae from Pets 2000 and Sharron Marriott from Make Yourself a Home has become something of a tradition in Whitchurch, with Reindeer and Leonburger dogs entertaining all those who visited.

The event was able to raise £700, which has now been handed over to the community hospital.

Pauline Elsley on behalf of Friends of Whitchurch Hospital accepted the cheque and said: "Thank you all involved for a great event for the town and for the donation towards our hospital."
