A COFFEE morning at Steeton in aid of Martin House children’s hospice has been hailed a success. The event raised £826, with a further £280 brought in through the sale of Martin House Christmas cards.

“To take more than £1,000 in just two hours was absolutely fantastic,” said villager Lynda Corser, who organised the event – at St Stephen’s Church Hall – with family and friends.

Mrs Corser is holding another fundraiser at an Over-50’s Club coffee morning on Friday from 10am at St Aidan’s Square, Crossflatts, from 10am to noon. Everyone is welcome.
