ANOTHER amazing evening was organised by the Crediton Friends of Hospiscare at the Boniface Centre, when the fantastic sum of  £1,484 was raised for the locally-based care charity.

Julie Cole, from the Crediton group, said the amount raised will pay for a nurse to care in the community for more than 50 hours.

She extended special thanks to the therapists and traders for giving their valuable time and to the various businesses around the town for their sponsorship towards the cost of hosting the event.

She added: “We must also thank Lin Stapleton, a committee member, who hosted a Christmas Card Evening which raised £243.80.

“We are truly grateful to you all.”

The Pamper Night included mini treatments including massage, manicures and Indian head massage and stalls including perfumes, cosmetics, jewellery, scarves, confectionary and Christmas gift ideas.
