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."
