A SUMMER full of fun has helped a Wokingham-based charity that helps families in need.

Members of Hurst Morris People (HuMP) welcomed representatives from First Days Children’s Charity before Christmas so they could present them with proceeds from its dancing.

The morris side passed round a cap at its public displays last year, and the donations were tallied up and then presented to outreach manager Lindsay Browne.

She attended a practice by the side at Hurst Village Hall, and HuMP suiqre Karen Ricketts made the presentation.

The money will help provide essentials for children from low-income families across Wokingham borough, including toys, games, clothes and furniture.

Like most traditional Cotswold morris dancers, HuMP they learn more dances, and perfect their dancing and playing skills, over the autumn, winter and spring.
