A CHARITY night spearheaded by a cancer sufferer at a Cradley club raised more than £2,500 for Mary Stevens Hospice.

Ivan Partridge, who has a very aggressive form of the disease, approached his local club, The Laurels, to stage the event.

Three acts provided the entertainment free of charge and a raffle was held.

A total of £2,585 was presented to hospice fundraiser Diane Moore.
