New licensees of a historic pub in the heart of Witney have raised £3,500 for a cancer care centre in Oxford.
Mike Dove and Tom Higgs of the Three Horseshoes pub in Corn Street decided to raise the money for Maggie’s, after one of the pub’s locals was diagnosed with stage three cancer.
The philanthropic pair see the pub as a family community pub and reportedly want to support their patrons as much as possible.

The first centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996, and the organisation now has a network of centres built beside NHS hospitals across the UK.
