THE Greenwich Rotary Club would like to thank residents who contributed to its Christmas collection and helped to raise £5,000 for local charities.

The club has been collecting outside Makro, on Anchor and Hope Lane, Charlton, for the past 22 years.

Greenwich Carers will receive most of the cash with the rest going to other charitable projects in the borough.

Club member John Stock said: "This long association between Makro and Greenwich Rotary shows how a major company and a rotary club can combine forces for the good of their local community."
