LOCAL charity, Hospiscare, has received a £100 boost, thanks to shoppers at Crediton High Street’s Town and Countrywear shop and Avocet Quilters from near Exeter.

The Quilters group donated a beautiful hand-crafted quilt as a prize which the Crediton Friends of Hospiscare decided to raffle.

Most of the tickets were sold at Town and Countrywear, run by Mole Avon.

The draw was recently made by a visiting shopper and the winner of the quilt was Mr L Hale of Cheriton Fitzpaine.

Marg Gleed, treasurer of the Crediton Friends and Julie Cole, publicity officer, thanked all those who purchased tickets, the Quilters group for the prize and Glenys Bedford and Daphne Pottle from Town and Countrywear, for selling the tickets.
