A YORK business has smashed its fundraising target in aid of a local charity.

The Original Factory Shop, in Malton Road, has raised £2,330 for the Jamie Inglis Appeal in aid of the Neuroblastoma Alliance.

Seven-year-old Jamie died last year after battling the childhood cancer neuroblastoma for half of his life.

Jamie’s appeal was raising funds to cover his treatment costs in Germany.

Any remaining money is allocated to help other children having neuroblastoma treatment.

Colleagues at the store in York have been supporting the charity with a range of fundraising activities, including fancy dress and sponsored events.

A spokesman for the shop said: “The staff have all worked hard to raise this money for the Jamie Inglis Appeal. It’s such a deserving cause, everyone in the town has been right behind us. We’re grateful for all our customers’ support.

“Let’s hope these efforts will make a difference to those who need it in the community.”
