A REDVALES councillor who recently took part in a charity swim has upped her fundraising total to more than £900 by holding a wine-themed party.

Judith Kelly is raising money in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society and took on the challenge of the Great Manchester Swim on July 4 before the 'Wine Time' celebration on July 11.

Cllr Kelly, pictured at the event's ribbon-cutting with Mayor of Bury Cllr Stella Smith, said: "It is a brilliant excuse for a get-together of friends, family and neighbours, and it is all for a great cause."
