A Newport environmental group has raised over £12,000 for a range of charities, schools and community organisations.

The Newport Canal Clean-Up and Litter Picking Group has donated half of the raised amount to the Turner's Syndrome Support Society.

The cause has a particularly personal connection for charity supporters Darren Rice, his partner Gillian Amos and their daughter Kelly Horton, who along with Kelly's husband Clinton have begun raising awareness for the cause as their daughter Kara Jay was diagnosed with the syndrome.
