REGULARS at a Kempsey pub have pulled out all the stops after thieves stole a collection for a young cerebral palsy sufferer.

The Talbot raised £573 cash for Amber Robinson after the original collection was taken in May.

The money will be used to help buy nine-year-old Amber a ramp for her Florence Close home.

"We just wanted to do something to help the family out," said Geoff Watkins, landlord of the pub.

"We haven't been at the pub that long but it was awful when Amber's money was taken. So we decided to start again.

"I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped us raise the money, particularly to Mike Matthews, who gave quite a large donation.

"We also had a woman who did a sponsored slim-a-thon. And Worcester Rugby Club and Worcestershire County Cricket Club donated raffle prizes."

Amber's father Mark said he was overjoyed the pub had raised the money.

"We really are thrilled," he said. "It's very kind of everyone and we're very grateful for all their efforts."
