THE Dromara Cancer Research UK Group completed their annual house-to-house collection in the Dromara area at the beginning of June and a total of £12,365 was raised due to the very generous nature of public donations.

Thanks have also been offered to the collectors and their drivers, who very willingly gave their time and energy to travel around the area.

Included in the total was a donation from two brothers, Toby and Oscar Scott who raised £68.02 from the sale of paintings.

The money raised helps to ensure the continuation of valuable research into potential treatments and cures for cancer related illnesses, much of this research happening in Northern Ireland.

An appeal has also been made for more collectors to contribute to next year’s fundraising campaign.

Collection totals for each area were as follows:

Artana - £684.02

Aughnaskeagh - £234.50

Ballykeel, Growell - £514.75
