More than £2,000 has been raised for a military charity thanks to a dance night.<\/p>\n
Over 200 people turned up at the event – which was held at the Rubery Social Club in Droitwich Spa – and all of the money raised will go to Fisher House, a facility for military patients and their families and it allows them to spend time together in a non-clinical environment.<\/p>\n
Friends Linda Grundy and Jayne Morris organised the evening and they are delighted by how many people showed up, the Droitwich Advertiser reports.<\/p>\n
Ms Morris' son is a member of the Royal Engineers and so she was determined to do her bit after seeing the help injured troops were given by the organisation.<\/p>\n
"We were keen to support Fisher House because we feel it's important for families to be close to their loved ones at a stressful time," she added.<\/p>\n
Ms Morris added the home comforts in a purpose-built facility can make a huge difference to soldiers who are recuperating.<\/p>\n
