It was pounds rather than pennies that fell from heaven for Eastleigh's Kidz Club.

For when they opened their post they found a mystery donor had sent them a cheque for £8,000 with the message that they should spend it on the club which meets at St Francis Hall in Nightingale Avenue.

"We have no idea who sent it but we would like to say a big thank you," said club organisor Paul Hosey. The cash will go on equipment and training.
