A WINCHESTER charity has been boosted by the city’s car boot sale at the Cattle Market car park.

Winchester and District Samaritans have thanked all the attendees of the car boot sale that took place on August 29.

The Upper High Street-based branch raised £699 - a record amount at this event for the branch.

The funds will contribute to ensuring that the volunteer-run branch can continue to provide an essential service 365 days a year for people who are struggling to cope.
