YOUNG carers in Droitwich have received a boost, after an evening of fundraising organised by Droitwich Rotary Club.

The club arranged a summer evening supper, with branches of Rotary from North Worcestershire and Edgbaston, to raise money for Worcestershire Young Carers, with entertainment provided free of charge by the Barbarettes, a close harmony vocal trio, singing songs ranging from 1940s hits to numbers from the present day.

The evening managed to raise an impressive £1,336.81, which was added to with a further £500 donation from the Worcestershire County Council charity account.
