Raft race raises nearly £7,000
That total does not include funds raised by charity stalls themselves and raft teams collecting for their own charities.
The event on August 5 raised money for eight charitable organisations, including Age Concern Deepings which received £3,500 of the funds, while Deepings Swimming Club and the Deepings Scout Group also received £1,000 each.
