Andy also supports the Dartmouth Neighbourhood Forum and he and Pam Spinks recently handed over the cheque .cert.

A spokesman for Acorns said: "The money was raised from a great night in which Andy got his musical friends to perform.

They were delighted to help and support Andy as they know what a kind and caring person he is, always ready to help others despite his own debilitating health issues.

"It will go a long way to supporting the work we do."
