Community-spirited folk in one Basildon street have clubbed together to raise £1,000 for St Luke's Hospice.
The men, women and children of Longacre raised the money by selling anything from plants to cuddly toys.

The goods are sold from stalls that those living in the street have erected outside their houses, a practice they have carried out for a number of years.
Marilyn Munt from St Luke's was on hand to be presented with a cheque.
Alison Jones, from St Luke's, in Nethermayne, paid tribute to the efforts of the kind-hearted residents.
