Saturday’s Wessex Aid concert has so far raised around £1,200 for Wessex Cancer Trust. The concert has already had more than 10,500 views on Facebook, but the charity would still like to reach their £2,000 target.
Community Engagement Manager Lorraine White said:
“We’ve had so many positive comments from everyone who tuned in on Saturday, it was such a feel-good event and many have said it moved them to tears.
“We’d like to thank everyone who donated their time and expertise to make it happen. Times have been tough for everyone and we feel Wessex Aid was a great way to lift people’s spirits.
“If you can watch and donate – even a little – please do. All money raised will help support local people affected by cancer and every penny makes a difference.”
