A family fundraising event has been held in Royston to help raise money for orphaned and misplaced children in Ukraine.

Around 120 people turned out for the event at The Old Bull Inn on Sunday, April 3.

Organiser Selene Law, of Royston Supporting Ukraine, said: "We were blown away by the generosity of the Royston business community, as we had more than 20 companies offering up raffle prizes.

"We understand that times are really tough for small businesses, so this makes it even more special.

"We would also like to thank the Old Bull Inn for allowing us to use the venue."
