A fun-filled evening of entertainment has raised more than £4,000 for LOROS.

The event, at Cosby Village Hall, was organised by and featured performances from people working for Manheim Auctions, of Bruntingthorpe.

They included Tracey Lee Collins, a finalist in the first heat of the second season of Britain's Got Talent.

He was supported by three comedians and a group.

Rob Darlington, from the company's buyer service department, said: "We also had a hog roast, a charity raffle and an auction of some of the more expensive raffle prizes which had been donated to us by local businesses, which supported the evening extremely generously."

He said when everything had been settled he was sure the total donation to the charity would be about £5,000.

"We chose LOROS by sending an e-mail around to everyone asking them who they would like to benefit from our fund-raising. LOROS was by far the most popular choice."
