The annual Wye Raft Race has raised more than £11,000 for St David’s Hospice Care.
Despite low river levels cutting entries, crews still helped generate nearly £14,000 overall.
Hospice bosses say the support is vital, with the charity needing more than £9M a year to fund care.
Organisers say the race shows the power of community fundraising – and the next event is planned for September.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
