A COMMUNITY will come together for a special charity event in Sopley on Friday.

Villagers will join forces to raise as much money as possible to help a local family create some special memories following devastating news.

Residents are rallying round the Welberry family after mum Hannah, 38, was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

The mother of six is undergoing life prolonging treatment, with the support of her family, friends and the entire village.

As well as the event on Friday night at The Woolpack, a fundraising page has been set-up for the family.

It is intended to give the family the opportunity to create memories on a special holiday and spend valuable time together.

The theme of the event is Cocktails and Casino with live music and a raffle designed to raise as much money as possible.

It will start at 8pm.
