We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the shoppers at Tesco stores in Hove and Portslade for their generousity last Friday and Saturday.

During these two days, we collected £865.35 to give practical help to local cancer sufferers and are grateful to all who contributed.

Our thanks are also due to Tesco which, every year, allows these collections in its stores throughout the country.

-Marjorie King, hon secretary, Macmillan Cancer Relief (Brighton and Hove committee)
