Home-made cakes and a glass of Pimms were just a couple of the treats that helped North Shropshire College quality officer Vicky Brayne raise £1,100 when she hosted a ‘strawberry tea’ in aid of Breast Cancer Care.

The sun was shining for the afternoon which allowed Vicky and friend Marie Rowe to entertain more than 60 women who enjoyed the treats in exchange for donations.

There were party games and raffles with prizes on offer ranging from bouquets of flowers to a hair-cut and blow-dry.

“We were overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone involved and truly thrilled to raise £1,100 for this worthy cause, the weather was glorious and really made it extra special,” said Vicky.

Thanks were given to local businesses including Brooks Around the Corner and Boots who donated some of the prizes.
