SUPPER and songs raised more than £1,000 for Cancer Research UK on Saturday.

After Dinner 8 held a concert at East Grimstead Reading Room, which was fully booked for a Supper and Songs evening.

The music was an eclectic mix ranging from The Beatles to La Vie en Rose.

Tim Crossland from Winterslow organised the event as he is raising money ahead of running the London Marathon for Cancer Research UK in April. His father is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

He said: “Previous research has meant the outlook for my father is optimistic. My hope is that events such as this one means that one day there will be a cure for cancer.”
