Wirksworth cadets raise £2900
Militant money-makers in Wirksworth are celebrating after raising an impressive £2900 for charity.
Youngsters from the Wirksworth Detachment of Derbyshire Army Cadet force spent three days packing bags in Matlock’s Sainsbury’s store to raise the cash.
Day one saw the cadets raise £700 for the Chloe Parks appeal – a worthy cause inspired by a local girl with cancer.
