WELLINGT0N-based charity SeeAbility has snookered its way to £8,000.
The cash was raised during Taunton Round Table's annual speaker evening, which featured Rev David Ireland of SeeAbility and snooker legend Willie Thorne.
SeeAbility's South-West fund-raiser Fiona Spotswood said: "I am delighted to have received such a substantial cheque from The Round Table.
"I cannot thank them, and their sponsors Albert Goodman, enough. The donation will go towards employing a volunteer co-ordinator at our Wellington office, to recruit more much-needed volunteers and to manage those we already have.
"The volunteers enable the young people we support - who are blind with additional profound learning and physical disabilities - to have more varied interaction with the outside world, and integrate more successfully into society.
"Volunteers enable more trips and visits to take place and help the young people communicate, giving them better quality of life and more fulfilling opportunities."
