Sir.-The Basingstoke group of the Wessex Cancer Trust held a charity collection at Sainsbury's, Hatch Warren, on October 22 and 23.

The collection raised the excellent sum of £1,173.59.

I would like to thank all the people who generously donated and continue to support this worthwhile local charity, as many of our funds go back into the Basingstoke area to benefit the local people.

Thank you also to Sainsbury's for making it possible for us to hold this collection.

We look forward to seeing you

all at one of our many events throughout the year and thank you everyone, once again, for your support.

-Pam Hodgkiss, Basingstoke Group Wessex Cancer, Old Basing.
