DOG track staff and their punters have raised more than £1,600 for Help for Heroes at a night dedicated to the forces charity.

Crayford Greyhound Track in Stadium Way, Crayford, used individual dog sponsorship, a raffle and a stall at the trackside to raise £1,674.

A number of local businesses also sponsored races at the event.

Track marketing manager Diana Illingworth said: “We can’t thank everyone enough for their generous donations and hard work.

“The Help for Heroes charity is such a worthwhile cause and due to the response and interest shown, we shall be holding another event this coming September.”
