A GENEROUS reader has sent in a £1,000 cheque to the Review news desk in support of the St Michael's Church Raise the Roof appeal.

The total raised through donations from members of the public has now reached the £6,000 mark since we launched the appeal to help the historic church recover from damage caused by mindless thieves last Tuesday.

Vicar at the St Michael's Street church Rt Reverend Brett Gray has told how envelopes have been dropping through his door everyday and thanked everyone for their help.
