Many residents of Sandbach have donated to a crowdfunder to get a man from Middlewich back to Britain.

Tom Pegg, 23, fell ill with an autoimmune disease after holidaying in Indonesia.

The 'normally fit, healthy, caring and confident lad', is currently in the United Arab Emirates, and a crowdfunder has been launched to get him home as soon as possible.

A whopping £106,000 has been raised so far, six grand more than was required. You can donate and read more about Tom's story HERE.
