A coffee morning held for Macmillan Cancer Support has smashed the target of £1,000 and raised a bumper £1,163.

Crowds turned up to a charity coffee morning held by four-times breast cancer survivor, Judith Colclough.

And this year, the event, held at Sandbach United's The CrossBar in Hind Heath Road, was an event with a difference as Judith who is also a talented artist sold some of her work to raise funds. 

She said: "I am inspired by the colours, shapes and textures of our natural environment but mostly by the vibrant colours of the sea and sky which I find mesmerising and relaxing.

"Painting is my way of forgetting my worries and problems and is really a form of meditation. When I am out walking, I like to get inspiration from the details of nature.

"I enjoy the experimentation and serendipitous nature of the new mediums and new challenges which take me out of my comfort zone."

Judith is delighted with how much Friday's event raised and would like to thank all those who went along.
