More than £2,000 has been handed over to the Mercian Regiment Benevolent Fund after an event in Lichfield.
The money was raised after the Lichfield Rocks music festival.
A cheque for £2,122 was handed over by local MP Michael Fabricant.
He said: “It’s great to see an event like Lichfield Rocks providing not only enjoyment to our community with a wealth of musical talent, but also raising money for such important local causes.
“Lichfield does indeed rock.”
Kyle Perry, organiser of the festival and front man of co-headliners Stubblemelt, said he was ‘thrilled’ with the amount of money the event helped to raise.
“It was fantastic to see so many people attend Lichfield Rocks, supporting both great local music and a very worthy cause,” he added. “The atmosphere throughout the day was incredible and people travelled from all over the country to be a part of the fun.
“It is also great to see our local MP Michael Fabricant commend what we are trying to achieve here and appreciate the hard work we put in.
“All the acts involved put on a brilliant performance and the fact we raised such an impressive amount for the Mercian Regiment Benevolent Charity is testament to both the event itself and the generosity of the general public.
“It’s a testament to the good folk of Lichfield and the friendly staff at The Bowling Green that makes this such a great success and now attracts national artists like Lucy Spraggan.
“I’m already looking forward to next year’s festival!”
