SCOUTS in East Tilbury have come up with an innovative, fast-paced idea to raise funds for a charity they support.

Next Thursday (19 November), group members will be holding a 'Charity Hour' to raise money for Breakthrough T1D, a charity which supports children and families through a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis.

The event at their headquarters on Princess Margaret Road (next to the village rail station) will include a number of ways to raise cash including a bake sale, crafts, games and a raffle.

The fundraising will start at 7.15pm.
