"I'm really happy with the success of the event, because not only did We had local talent performing in the centre of Mansfield to a supportive audience, but I also got to raise money and awareness about Macmillan.

"I chose Macmillan Cancer Support as my charity for the year because it's close to my heart - they provided help to my sister (pictured with slightly pink hair).

"It has been an amazing experience fundraising the past year for such a worthy charity."

She raised just over the £540 just by people generously giving donations and having a go on the raffle for an iPad mini, which will be drawn at the end of March.
