Volunteers at the St Ives and Fenstanton Timebank made more than 200 masks during the pandemic to raise money for CALMTown, in St Ives.
The group were approached by Angie Dickinson, town and district councillor, for St Ives in April 2020 to make masks and have now handed over the proceeds.

: “Life’s too short to worry about Marilyn Monroe.”
