THE mayor of Southampton, Cllr Cathie McEwing, attended an event to raise vital funds for Haiti last week.
The event, held at St Marys Church in Southampton, raised £765 by ticket sales and a raffle.
Attendees enjoyed live music and a Caribbean supper.
Organiser Marlene Plummer said: “I saw a lady on the television whose house had been destroyed and I knew I needed to do something to help.”
The money will be sent to Haiti via Christian Aid.
