A LOCAL business has raised more than £1,200 to a charity supporting sick and premature babies in Oxford.

The Oxford branch of Coventry Building Society raised the cash to support SSNAP, which provides emotional and practical care in the John Radcliffe's specialist neonatal unit.

The money was raised through cake sales and raffles, and half of the cash came from a sponsored skydive by customer service specialist Alister Wilson.

SSNAP director Emma Cantrell praised the firm's 'brilliant' efforts.
