Local charities came together at Mold Fire Station last night to receive a total of £2,000, raised during the annual bonfire and fireworks display at Mold Alex Football Ground in November.

The St John's Ambulance and Shooting Start at Wrexham Maelor Hospital received donations of £1,000 each.

Peter Edwards, Watch Manager at Mold Fire Station, said: "I would like to thank everyone involved in organising last year's bonfire - it was a real team effort with everyone pulling together to produce an excellent event that was enjoyed by the whole community.

"We are proud to be working with the residents of North Wales to keep them as safe as possible, and seeing the money going back into the community makes all the organisation and hard work worthwhile."
