A SUPERMARKET went all out to raise much needed funds for two great causes.

Dalton Co-op, found on Market Street, ran a fundraising week, from November 6-14, to raise money for veteran charities Help For Heroes and The Poppy Appeal.

The Co-op team offered ration style hampers in a raffle, and staff were dressed in costume for the occasion.

They also played a game of name the British bulldog bear, and Dalton Town Band performed in-store for customers.

Ulverston singer Becki Fishwick also performed in-store to keep the customers occupied while shopping.

A spokeswoman for the store said: “The week long event raised £420 for Help For Heroes and £469.60 for The Poppy Appeal.

"We are very grateful for the support of all our customers who donated so generously.”

Customers dug deep to support the community event.

One said: "I thought it was a really lovely idea.

"I was very touched by all the effort they had gone to."
