A STREET collection on May 4 for the NSPCC in Upton raised £332.50.

"Thank you to everyone for supporting us," said the charity's Sara Kitching.

She also paid tribute to Caroline Heath, who raised £1,500 by running the London Marathon.

The branch still has tickets left for its midsummer ball at Severn End on June 22, which features an auction, three-course meal and dancing. Tickets are £60, available from Mrs Kitching on 01684 310533.
