Talented crafters based in Lytham have raised funds for the Royal British Legion, which this year marks its 100th anniversary.

The community craft group at St Cuthbert’s Church, Lytham, raised £100 from the sale of its work for the charity which supports veterans of the Armed Forces and their families.

Spencer Leader, Lytham St Annes Poppy Appeal organiser, recently received the cheque from Liz Willis, craft group joint organiser.
