A jumper sale in Keighley raised more than £700 for a church refurbishment fund.

Gabrielle Ramsden, a member of St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Cross Hills, staged the event to boost efforts to raise up to £40,000 for necessary work on the building.

“Considering it was so close to Christmas and many people were probably preoccupied, I was delighted with how it went and thrilled to raise such a terrific amount – and I was impressed with the Central Hall venue,” she said.

The sweaters were donated by Guiseley firm TB Ramsden, where Mrs Ramsden is design director.
