A DAY of tea and cakes raised around £160 for Cats Protection.

Michelle Ward, who runs the Tranquilitea shop for the iconic British drink in Chepstow, tempted customers with home-made cake and wide range of tea.

Michelle was joined by Tina Harty-Leek of the Gwent branch of Cats Protection for the event at Tranquilitea in St Mary’s Arcade.

Tina said: “We have had 12 kittens handed in to us in the last week so fund-raising events such as this are very important.”

Michelle added: “I’d like to thank everyone who supported the event.”
