AN estate agent in Worcester has raised thousands of pounds for a charity which provides respite care for families with terminally ill children.

Connells raised £2,000 by auctioning prizes at its annual dinner and donated the money to ROSY.

Speaking at the cheque presentation with Connells, ROSY secretary George Hedges, said: "It is difficult to find the words to thank you and your colleagues for the magnificent gift of £2,000 to aid the work of ROSY.

"Your continued support over the last five years totals nearly £17,000 which is a great inspiration to us all."
