A sports and social club have raised more than £3,000 for charity with a family fun day.

Buckhurst Hill Sports and Social Club in Queens Road, Buckhurst Hill, hosted the all-day event last month (July 26) in hopes of raising much-needed funds for the Alzheimer's Society.

The total raised by the event, which entertained residents with an auction, a barbeque, raffles, tombola, face painting and a bouncy castle as well as stalls selling cosmetics, jewellery and clothing worn by The Only Way is Essex stars, is still rising.

It currently stands at £3,100.
