More than £2,600 has been raised by a club in the north-west, where a local band performed at a special charity gig<\/p>\n
The Penarth Ex-Servicemen's Club has come up with £2,626 for Help for Heroes, with £2,326 of this coming thanks to the work of a music group, reports the Penarth Times.<\/p>\n
Local band The Silverbacks were sponsored by local firms and friends who attended the show they put on at the club recently.<\/p>\n
In addition, they took to the streets of Penarth to sell wristbands bearing the name of Help for Heroes, giving people a chance to show their support.<\/p>\n
Club chairman Mark Holder said: "We have adopted Help for Heroes as our chosen charity at the club and hope to continue raising money with as many events as possible for this excellent cause."<\/p>\n
People who fancy catching The Silverbacks in action can do so on October 5th, when they will once again be performing at the club.
