Gogglebox Marina's astonishing £8,000 coffee morning

Bristol TV star Marina Wingrove might not be on our screens on Gogglebox anymore, but the 88-year-old legend is still busy - and helping to raise thousands for a children’s charity.

Marina and her friends at the Monica Wills residential home in Bedminster get together every Thursday in their communal lounge and hold coffee mornings, where they all donate items for the raffle and then sell tickets to raise money around the building.

Marina and her friends have raised an incredible £8,623.70 for the Children’s Hospice South West charity, which runs a hospice for children with life-limiting conditions at Charlton Farm, just outside Bristol.
