MORE local charities are benefiting from Sidmouth's Waitrose Community Matters project.

On Tuesday Lenny Titherington, manager of Cancer Research UK shop in Fore Street, collected a cheque for �500 from the store.

She said: "I would like to thank management and staff at Waitrose and the community of Sidmouth for nominating Cancer Research UK.

"The money will go a long way to helping people, particularly in these times of recession."
