Organisers worked hard to host a coffee morning and bring and buy sale on Saturday morning, drawing in the crowds despite the bad weather.
Susan Green, one of the organisers, said: “I wanted to catch the momentum of the whole tragedy. It is all very sad. We just wanted people to be able to make a donation.
“People were so generous; they brought it and they bought it. We had a great raffle. It was amazing.”
Mrs Green’s nephew, Ross Adkins, works as a journalist and translator in Kathmandu.
