AN Army Cadets detachment commander handed a cheque for £1,000 to the Royal British Legion.

Steven Fisher, from Stanford-le- Hope, raised the money through a wartime charity tribute night in Corringham in June.

He recently presented the money raised to Tracey Hall, the British Legion’s community fundraiser.

Steven said: “I would like to thank everyone who attended and supported me in making this possible to be able to raise funds for the British Legion.”

Tracey added: “It is heart-warming that someone so young is willing to help our cause.”
