A BUSY bottle tombola has helped raise hundreds of pounds for the families supported by stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands.

Oxfordshire Sands hosted the tombola as part of Sands Awareness Month, at Bloxham Steam Rally on Sunday.

Organisers said it was inundated with donations of more than 300 bottles and passed on a special thanks to supporters.

The event raised £451.15 on the day and supporter Judy Mansfield, of Cherish Ceremonies, donated £48.85 to take that up to £500.

Money raised will help the charities work supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby.
