Amble, Warkworth Rotary
Club president Stephen Kerry said the collection was the most successful the club has ever had and the generosity of the public in Amble, Warkworth and the surrounding villages enabled it to give valuable financial support to local charities and support groups.
The collection was supported by members of Inner Wheel, Interact (Junior Rotary) and community teams from Acklington and Widdrington.
