Two fantastic fundraisers have once more ensured groups and charities will share thousands of pounds after their knitting and poetry exploits sparked a wave of donations.
An amazing £5,000 has been donated to charities across Waveney and Great Yarmouth after Pakefield fundraisers Zoiyar Cole and Janet Ellis got to work.
Having marked 20 years of fundraising this year after the Paul Cole Cancer Fund was set up in memory of Mrs Cole’s son in 2000, many groups, organisations and individuals have benefitted from the remarkable voluntary work.

PROPOSALS for Thatcham to grow by 25 per cent are being put forward in what would be the single largest development in West Berkshire in living memory.
West Berkshire Council has recommended north east Thatcham to take up to 2,500 homes in its Local Plan Review 2020-2037, which assesses future housing needs.
Around 170 hectares of land stretching from the top of Floral Way to Colthrop and into Midgham parish has been identified for the development.
The land, split into four separate parcels, is being put forward by a consortium of land owners and developers, including Donnington New Homes, The Wasing Estate, A2Dominion and Ptarmigan Land.
