STAFF at a Romsey pub have thanked members of the public for their help in fundraising.

The fundraising took place throughout October, with a total of £6,000 being raised for the pub’s chosen charities through a mix of challenges and donations.

John Hind, of the Romsey Old Cadets, raised £2,500 as he braved the shave by shaving off his hair, eyebrows and beard. Fellow Old Cadets member Martin Drake, also donated £100.

The Romsey Old Cadets then raised a further £1,300 supporting the cause by dressing in pink and heading to the pubs and streets of the town before giving a performance in the town square.
