A Wistaston garden party in aid of Diabetes UK helped raise almost £700.
Sheena and Ken Sambrook staged the event in their house and front and back gardens.
The couple are president and treasurer respectively of the Crewe and South Cheshire Voluntary Group of Diabetes UK .
More than 80 people attended, including Mayor of Cheshire East Council Cllr Hilda Gaddum, and newly crowned Wistaston Rose Queen Rachel Astbury and her attendant Chelsea Horne.
Ken said: “We would like to thank everyone who has supported the event. £690 was raised which is a fantastic total.
“We are always amazed at the wonderful support we receive from friends in the local community that makes the evening such a great success enabling us to continue to support Diabetes UK.”
All proceeds will go to support newly diagnosed children and adolescents with diabetes to allow them to attend educational residential holidays held around the UK.
The residential allows them to integrate with other young people with diabetes and share experiences.
The Crewe and South Cheshire Voluntary Group raises £7,500 a year for Diabetes UK.
The next local event in aid of Diabetes UK is a coffee morning at Nantwich Parish Rooms, St Mary’s Church, Nantwich, this Saturday July 25, 10am to midday.
