A CHELMSFORD fundraising committee is celebrating raising more than £500,000 over 30 years of fundraising for Cancer Research UK.
The ladies of the Chelmsford committee fundraise for cancer research by holding bridge nights, balls and summer luncheons and to date have raised a grand total of £512,168.
Margaret Chalmers, chair of Chelmsford local committee, said: "I would like to thank the generous nature of the people from Chelmsford, they've always been very supportive of the work that we do, and are the main reason that we have been so successful in making this amazing sum of money."
The most recent was held on Thursday, June 5 at Crix House in Hatfield Peverel, that saw more than 90 guests enjoy a freshly prepared lunch, stalls and a raffle to raise over £3,000.
Claire Marmion, Cancer Research UK's local fundraising manager for south Essex, said: "I would like to thank Chelmsford local committee for the fantastic amount they have raised and the massive contribution they have made to our vital work over the past years.
"They are an absolutely incredible group of ladies and it is a real honour to have them fundraising for us."
