A concert by South Cheshire George Formby Ukulele Society in Nantwich helped to raise more than £250 for Help For Heroes.

The money was raised when the Ukulele Society performed a concert in the Nantwich Civic Hall during last month’s Nantwich Jazz Blues and Music Festival.

It was presented by the society at their most recent performance in front of a packed audience in Wistaston Memorial Hall on May 25.

Alan Newton, of the Ukulele Society, presented the £250 cheque to Steve Pragnell, local Cheshire coordinator for Help for Heroes.

The Memorial Hall was  built to commemorate 16 Wistaston men who perished in World War II.

Steve said: “It is humbling that so many people have donated to Help for Heroes.

“If it wasn’t for the public generosity we wouldn’t exist. Every penny counts, so the total raised by the George Formby Society is very gratefully received.”
