Richard Collyer Lodge secretary Pete Hansen said: “We decided to support Action Medical Research on this occasion as they are a local based charity that help save and change children’s lives through funding research.

“They were the first to introduce the polio vaccine in the UK, they developed the use of ultrasound technology in pregnancy and many other incredible breakthroughs.

“Anyone interested in what they do can find out by going onto their website www.action.org.uk”
