Children of Adam bought the meals from Rumbles Fish Bar in Werrington after receiving a donation of £160 from Vic Imbriano, who owns Vic’s Boxing Gym.

The money was raised following a boxing show, with Vic wanting to donate the money in memory of colourful rough sleeper Valerie Collins who recently passed away.
