WANTAGE and Grove Scouts have thanked everyone who used their Scout Christmas card post service.

This year's deliveries raised an 'excellent' £3,375 which will help pay for activities for Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer sections.

In a statement the group said: "Thanks also go to the volunteers who helped to collect, sort and deliver around 11,500 Christmas cards as well as deliver a card to every household on behalf of the Wantage and Grove Church partnership and thanks to the companies who site the post boxes on their premises."
