Bridgnorth agricultural auction raises £12,000 for cancer charity
Staff at a Bridgnorth livestock market have raised over £12,000 with a special auction to raise money for a cancer charity.
The auction on Tuesday, organised by Nock Deighton Agricultural LLP, saw cows and sheep auctioned off, as well as lots including meat and veg hampers, to a dinner for eight, straw bales, fodder beet, a hotel stay and a watercolour painting, all donated by well wishers and customers.
The money will be donated to Prostate Cancer UK, and marked World Cancer Day, which took place last Friday.
James Neame, from the Tasley-based firm, said: "We didn't expect to raise so much money, so were delighted with the outcome and it is going to a great cause. With World Cancer Day being held at the end of last week it is very appropriate."
