Burnham-On-Sea bank gives town charity a welcome boost

Generous staff at a bank in Burnham-On-Sea have given a local charity a boost by holding a fundraising walk.

Staff at the Britannia in College Street have raised over £280 for hovercraft charity BARB by holding a sponsored walk from Burnham to Berrow and also holding other fundraising events, including a book sale.

Shop Manageress Teresa Duszynski is pictured handing over a cheque for £282.57 to hovercraft pilot Dave Bailey to help with BARB's ongoing costs, one of several donations made by the branch to the charity over the past year.

Dave said: "We're very grateful for this donation from the Britannia, who have put a lot of effort into their fundraising for us - it is greatly appreciated."
