The 5th Saffron Walden 'Friday Ferret' Beaver Colony held a homemade lemonade and cake stall to raise money for charity.

The stall was set up on Saturday, June 29, and the beavers all helped make the items on sale - including squeezing lots of lemons.

Together they raised £215, which will be divided between Addenbrooke's Hospital, Uttlesford Foodbank, the British Heart Foundation and the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development.

Beaver leader Alison Jiggins said: "A huge thank you to everyone who supported their efforts."

Beavers are aged six to eight, and there are two Beaver colonies in 5th Saffron Walden - the Friday Ferrets and the Wednesday Weasels.
