THE annual Edington charity ball which took place on Saturday raised an impressive £7,000 for the Bath Cancer Unit Support Group, The Felix Fund, which supports the Army’s bomb disposal experts and their families who have been injured in the course of their work, and for other local and village causes.

The event which is now in its 14th year, has raised nearly £80,000 since it started which organisers are very pleased with.

Paul Millard, from the organising committee, said: “We started this event to say thank you to the Bath Cancer Unit and the incredible work it does on all our behalves, but it’s also a fantastic night out which now raises money for an extremely worthwhile, but wider group of charities and good causes.”
