MORE than £500 has been raised by a community hub in the Clay Country.

The money came in through an Easter fair held by the ClayTAWC community centre in St Dennis, near St Austell.

Activities at the event included a craft market, an Easter bonnet competition, a well-supported raffle and other competitions such as name the Easter chick.

Adults, as well as children, had their faces painted at the fair, among them the ClayTAWC community centre chairman, Cornwall councillor Dick Cole.

The money raised by the event will go towards activities at the community hub.

Centre manager Kerry Merrifield said of the Easter fair: “We had a lovely day and look forward to putting on other community events in the coming months.”
