A church women's league has raised more than £500 for a charity that helps people with learning disabilities.

The Catholic Women's League at St Peter's Church in Winchester chose The Boaz Project as their charity of the month for the second time this year.

The group raised the funds for the Sutton Scotney-based charity, which helps adults with learning disabilities to gain work, skills, and friendships, through a Soup 'n' Pud lunch.
