A charity walk undertaken by Frenford & MSA Women FC has smashed its target, both in terms of distance covered and money raised.
The team aimed to raise £6,000 for Refuge and UNICEF Yemen by walking 200km on March 6.
Instead, they walked 413km and raised £8529, with the Lint Group sponsoring £10 for every kilometre (up to 200km).
Participant Rose Luther said: These charities support the most vulnerable women and children in our society and abroad. I am very proud to be part of this football team and to have raised so much together.

A ladies football team in Ilford are to undertake a charity walk in the coming weeks for Refuge and UNICEF Yemen.
Frenford & MSA Women FC will be walking more than 200km on Saturday March 6 in the hopes of raising £6,000.
The decision to donate money to Refuge is borne out of the knowledge that domestic violence has shot up during lockdown, with UNICEF Yemen chosen in recognition of the country s ongoing crisis.
Each participant must have a sponsor for every kilometre walked, and the Lint Group will sponsor the team £10 for every kilometre walked (up to 200km).
