More than £70,000 has been raised by a Manchester brewer over the last year, way ahead of its initial target of £50,000.<\/p>\n
Joseph Holt is to donate the huge sum to the military charity after its staff and customers organised a range of events to raise money in recent months.<\/p>\n
Everything from bungee jumps to cycle rides, bikini car washes and family fun days were held in a bid to increase the fund.<\/p>\n
The Kings Head was picked out as the top performer in the fundraising project, having contributed £3,310 to the pot, more than any other pub or brewery.<\/p>\n
Next on the league table of top fundraisers were the Welcome Inn, the Spread Eagle, the Morning Star and the Queens Hotel respectively.<\/p>\n
Help for Heroes' Helen Loynes said: "Joseph Holt had a great idea, rallied support and had a great deal of fun while raising money for a wonderful cause. It's hugely appreciated."
