JUST over £10,000 was raised by people who walked over hot coals outside the Queens Head pub in Sheet.

The FitzRoy Firewalk Festival was in aid of FitzRoy, a national charity which helps people with learning disabilities and autism to live more independently.

Those taking part included FitzRoy’s Toby Bridle plus Petersfield Fire Station, Taro Leisure Centre, Gym and Tonic and East Hampshire District Council staff.

East Hampshire’s Lisa Clements said: “I would rather walk on hot coals than Lego!”
