A CUB pack has raised nearly £1,000 for charity.

The 7th Grays Conquest Cub Pack recently had their cubs sponsored to raise money for the charity Children with Cancer UK.

By selling cakes at school and church, swimming, running, bike riding and giving up electrical games raised £950.

Claire Milloy from the charity came and met the cubs to receive their cheque.

She was delighted that the cubs had raised such a huge amount and congratulated them for their efforts and chatted about how these donations help the children and their families during treatment.

Akela, Frances Sladden-Garwood said "Every year we choose a charity to fund raise for. This was a superb effort by my cubs for children less fortunate than themselves."
