ALTRINCHAM’S Loose Change Buskers has hit another fundraising target - it has now collected more than £300,000 for Cancer Research UK.

The award-winning group has raised the funds since being set up six years ago.

Loose Change Buskers was awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in June for its support for Cancer Research UK and community work.

The group has become a familiar sight to shoppers in town centres throughout the borough since it was founded in 2010 by Timperley resident Bernard and his friend and fellow musician, John Fogel, from Altrincham.

The band has gone from strength to strength and there are now about 30 musicians who play for it.

It will be playing at Eden Square, Urmston, on Saturday, October 8, from 10am.
