Nancy Powell-Brace, co-owner of Odette’s tearoom in High Street, Wellington, presents a cheque for £180 to the Wellington Basins Voluntary Group.

The money was raised from a retiring collection taken at the Christmas event at the Wellesley Cinema in December last year.

Basins group chairman Jeny Vickery thanked Nancy for her tremendous support and said the money would be used for the ongoing work preserving and maintaining the Basins area.

She also thanked Nancy for Odette’s support – it has chosen the Basins Group as its sponsored charity.
