A TABLE-TOP sale raised about £600 for a new children's hospice.

Visitors to the event at the United Reformed Church, Court Road, Eltham, were able to get their hands on everything from fine china to clothing.

The sale was organised to raise money for the Demelza children's hospice, which is set to open next year in Sowerby Close, Eltham.

Fundraiser Rosemary Norris said: "Everyone was very generous and we were delighted to raise so much money.

"The Government doesn't give any money for children's hospices so we need as much help as possible."

The new facility, which will be the first children's hospice in south London, is expected to cost around £5m.
