RAYLEIGH residents proved to be the icing on the cake for a hospice fundraising group by collecting hundreds of pounds in a bake sale.

Tenants at Sanctuary Housing’s retirement living complex Britton Court, in Eastwood Road, raised £270 for Havens Hospices’ Helping Hands. Along with cake stalls, residents and visitors on the day also enjoyed a raffle and music from an entertainer to help bring in cash for the good cause and enjoy the day.
