ON September 26 the Madley Craft Group held a fundraiser to support research into macular degeneration.

They had a very successful morning and raised £ 554.50 for the Macular Society.

Thelma Roper, a craft group member, has had considerable help from this charity since she was diagnosed with macular degeneration.

Her best advice to everyone is to have regular eye tests and be aware of the problem.

The Macular Society can be contacted on their helpline on 0300 3030111 and their website is macularsociety.org

Organisers with to extend a big thank you to everyone that came along and supported them.

The Madley Craft Group hold their meetings every Tuesday in Madley Parish Hall from 10am - noon.
