Exbourne Community Choir has been helping farmers in crisis with its recent concert raising £1,000 for the Farming Community Network.

The choir, led by Pauline Savage, gave a very well supported concert in Hatherleigh Community Centre on June 25.

It was in aid of the Farming Community Network, a charity which helps members of the farming community to manage and thrive through difficult times and periods of change.

The FCN provides a listening ear and essential support to farmers in need. The cheque was being presented to a representative of the charity on Saturday.
