The fun day was held at The Sunnydale Inn on Brown Avenue, Mansfield Woodhouse, where there was raffles and games.

And, £1551 was raised.

Katie said: "I had it in my head that I wanted to raise enough to send them away for a week - I had no idea it would be that much.

"It was really busy we are a big family anyway but a lot of people passing by came it - there was huge support."
