The money was donated to the Terry Bedford Foundation Trust – formed by Storrington man Terry Bedford who suffered significant nerve damage after he was crushed by a lorry in 2015 – to help those suffering with mental health issues.

The Foundation provides counselling for people who suffer from depression or post traumatic stress disorder.
