A TEST Valley art sale raised £6,000 to support Ukrainian refugees in Hampshire.
The event, held on July 24 and 25 at Stockbridge Town Hall, was organised by Hugh Dumas who had decided to exhibit several of his paintings.
The other artists who showcased paintings and cards were Alix Baker, Julia Cassels, Caroline Hervey-Bathurst, Christina Meade, Sally Milligan, Lisa Steinke and Belinda Martin.

Mr Dumas said: “Hampshire has been at the forefront of looking after many of these displaced families who, having been with their hosts for a year or more, now wish to move on and find their own accommodation and of course this costs money.
“Several friends kindly helped with the organisation and setting up of the show and the town hall was the ideal venue for such an event. The amazing sum of just over £6,000 was raised and this will be donated to some of the local Ukrainian support groups.”
