A Garden Party in Wistaston in aid of Diabetes UK helped raise hundreds of pounds.
The event was staged on Westfield Drive by Wistaston couple Sheena and Ken Sambrook.
They allowed their house and gardens to be taken over for the annual event which always takes place on the second Wednesday in July.
Sheena and Ken are President and Treasurer of the Crewe and South Cheshire Voluntary Group of Diabetes UK
Entrance was 50p and included a tea or coffee, cakes and plants were available for sale, with bring & buy and raffle stalls.
Several dozen people attended including Mayor of Cheshire East Council, Cllr Wesley Fitzgerald and Mayoress Joan Fitzgerald, along with Wistaston Rose Queen Lucy Rowland and her Attendant Charlotte Shaw.
Ken Sambrook said: “We are always amazed at the wonderful support we receive from friends in the local community.
“It makes the evening such a great success and enables us to continue to support Diabetes UK.”
All proceeds will go to diabetes research projects and to support newly diagnosed children and adolescents with diabetes.
On average the Crewe and South Cheshire Voluntary Group raises £7,500 per year for Diabetes UK.
