A BLIND children's charity based in Highbridge is set to benefit from an open evening and raffle in the town.

Skidmarx's Antony Brooks is running the London Marathon in aid of the National Blind Children's Society and is hosting an open evening and fundraiser in his shop on Friday (February 16).

Society spokesman Margaret McDowell said: "His suppliers have kindly donated items, enabling Antony to hold a raffle and the money raised will go towards his marathon sponsor money."

To help Antony reach his target you can attend the evening from its 6pm start.
