THE United Reformed Church in Wellington raised £3,107.72 over the year, which was shared equally between Wellington Stroke Club and Crohns and Colitis UK.

Barclays Bank added £1,000 to the donation to Wellington Stroke Club, which has a close association with the church, meeting there each Monday.

Debs Eaton of Crohns and Colitis UK lives in Wellington and she and her musical family are longstanding friends of the church. Her father, John Eaton, played the organ at the church’s coffee and carols morning and the funds raised on that occasion were included in the donations to these charities.
