More than £1,500 has been raised at the Banbury Autumn Craft Fair to help a charity that connects dogs with people who are in need.

The fair raised money for Dogs for Good, which has its national training centre in the town.

The charity was founded in 1988 and "creates powerful connections between people and dogs, supporting people with a wide range of health and social care needs".

Tina Williams, regional fundraiser at Dogs for Good, said: "The Banbury supporters group is made up of volunteers who are passionate about our work.

"The group has several talented crafters so holding a craft fair seemed a great way to raise funds, highlight the work of the charity and showcase their talents.

"They have been holding craft fairs for nine years now.

She added: “We wouldn't be able to do the work we do without the generous support from our volunteers, local community, and community-focused trusts.

"We're always on the lookout for more volunteers in Banbury."
