Customers at a Derry pub dig deep to help people who struggle financially over the Christmas period

Customers at a Derry pub have raised more than £1,500 for a charity appeal to help others at Christmas.

A collection was held at Granny Annie’s bar for the City Charity Appeal which was set up three years ago to help those who struggle over the festive period.

The collection raised a fantastic £1,560.
