The Refill Shop of Ikigai in St Ives has handed over more than £250 to the Hunts Community Cancer Network (HCCN).

The money, which was raised by the shop's generous customers' loyalty cards donations, was collected over a six-month period.

The charity aims to help people who have received a cancer diagnosis, are going through treatment, are recovering from or are living with cancer.

They provide evidence-based activities that promote healthy eating, physical exercise and mental wellbeing.

Martin Cooper, owner of the shop, said: "I don't know anyone who hasn't been affected by cancer in some way, so the support Hunts Community Cancer Network provide to those diagnosed with the disease, or those caring for someone with it is amazing, and this is our small way of saying thank you for all they do.

"At a time when people are still struggling with the cost of living, we are amazed by the generosity of our customers in supporting the charity."
