Festive wassailers met to sing carols over the Christmas period in a bid to raise money for some fantastic causes.

In total, the Wassailers group raised a massive £4,284 for Cancer Research, Oxfam and Saint Roses School in Stroud.

Howard Beard, on the behalf of the Wassailers said: "I want to say thank you to all those who contributed so generously and to the singers for giving up their time."

The group sang in the Five Valleys Shopping Centre, formerly known as Merrywalks Shopping Centre, at private functions, pubs and hotels throughout the region.
