A CHARITY fundraising group is thanking generous Knutsfordians for helping to raise more than £1,000 during its festive collection.

Members of Knutsford Marie Curie Fundraising Group said they were grateful to Aldi, on Brook Street, for hosting the group’s Christmas collection for the second year running.

With the support of the store’s customers, a total of £1,311 was raised and the funds will be used to help continue Marie Curie nurses’ work in the community.
