THE HANBURY First Brownies have raised £110 towards Bromsgrove's Life After Stroke Centre after a charity cake sale.

The girls organised the event themselves, made the posters to advertise it, and baked the cakes and biscuits to sell.

Claire Benfield, the charity's regional fund-raiser for Bromsgrove, went along to Hanbury Village Hall where the group meets.

There she gave them a talk on stroke and The Stroke Association.

She praised the girls and said: "It really was a great group effort."

Brown Owl Pinky Jain said: "They came up with the idea themselves and chose The Stroke Association because a couple of the girls knew people who had suffered strokes."

The First Hanbury Brownies meet on Monday nights from 5pm to 6.30pm at Hanbury Village Hall.
