A bike shop has raised more than £7,000 to support children with cancer and their families.

Helmet City’s Chichester branch raised money through a charity open day in aid of Abby’s Heroes, a charity supporting children and young people with cancer and their families.

The event was one of three fundraisers, alongside an open day at Helmet City’s Cheddar store and a Football Fun Day.

Jennifer Holmes, managing director of Helmet City, said: "This year, we’ve been incredibly proud to support Abby’s Heroes by holding two Open Days and a Football Fun Day.

"The charity is especially close to my heart, as they have provided invaluable support to me and my family following my daughter’s diagnosis earlier this year."

Together, the events raised a total of £7,437 for Abby’s Heroes.

David Fawcett, community fundraiser for Abby’s Heroes, said: "We are extremely grateful to everyone at Helmet City for their support and kindness.

"To have fundraised over £7,000 is an incredible achievement.

"It is only through the support of individuals and businesses like Helmet City that we can continue to support children with cancer and their families.

"Thank you to everyone involved in these amazing events."
