Despite fears that coronavirus would put people off, organisers were pleased to see dozens of people attend.

"After setting up the nerves were creeping in," said Ms Chinnery.

"We wondered whether people would come as there are still worries regarding Covid, but we kept tables and chairs apart.

"I am delighted that we raised a staggering £2,050. That was way beyond our expectations."
