MARGARET Harper, from Sparklers, raised £1,040 through the sale of jewellery for the Somerset Unit for Radiotherapy Equipment (SURE) charity to equip the Beacon Centre cancer unit at Taunton’s Musgrove Park Hospital.
A collection of 5p coins at the Beacon Centre totalled £227, including £58.35 from Blagdon Village and £32 from Mrs Cakebread, while a collection box at the Wembdon Stores, Bridgwater, added £51.47.
This week’s total of £1,278.47 raised for SURE means £447,081 has been donated since the County Gazette linked up with the charity.
