A pair of Newtown sisters have raised thousands in memory of their mum at their weddings.

Sisters, Jodie and Sophie Roberts who both celebrated their weddings in 2023 raised more than £12,500 for Lymphoma Action in memory of their mum, Heather Roberts, who died 9 years ago from the cancer.

The newly wed sisters who both got married over the summer in 2023, held ticketed Sunday luncheons and promise auctions the weekends of their weddings, making the most of the wedding marquee’s.

Family, friends and local businesses donated prizes for the auction which helped to raise the total for the charities.
