A STILLBIRTH charity has received a cash boost from carnival organisers.

Members of Braintree's Carnival Court visited the Sands charity with a cheque for £2,000.

The money was raised at last year's carnival.

The 2017 carnival will be held on Saturday, June 10 and the theme is I Love London.

Their chosen charity this year is Farleigh Hospice.
