A LADIES Pamper Party evening held at the Boniface Centre in Crediton raised an amazing £1, 936.65 for Hospiscare, up more than £100 on last year’s event.

There was a good turnout for the event and ladies were able to enjoy a drink on arrival, the ticket price also including a mini pampering treatment.

There were a large range of stalls including clothing, cosmetics, scarves, Christmas gift ideas, jewellery and much more.

Julie Cole from the Crediton Friends of Hospiscare, said: "We are most grateful to the therapists, traders and helpers who gave their precious time to make this evening a success and special thanks go to the sponsors for their generosity.

"Lastly, very special thanks must go to those of you who kindly bought tickets and supported the event and turned out on a very wet and windy evening. Thanks to all of you."

Julie added that a recent Christmas Card Evening, kindly organised by Christine Davey at her home, raised £280.45.

She added: "A lovely evening was enjoyed by all with mulled wine and light refreshments being served. Our thanks to Christine for organising this."
