Supermarket shoppers have helped support local veterans.

Macclesfield Veterans Breakfast Club have been presented with a cheque for £1,500 as part of Tesco Stronger Starts.

The scheme sees customers use blue tokens to vote for their favourite charity to receive a grant.

Sheena King and Emma Wood, community champions from the Hibel Road Tesco, attended the breakfast club's meeting on Saturday, April 12, to present the cheque.

Trevor Wardle-Paylor, chair of Macclesfield Veteran's Breakfast Club, said: "This club is a much-needed addition to the community where like-minded veterans can meet over breakfast for some light-hearted banter."

Macclesfield Veteran's Breakfast Club meet on the second Saturday of every month at the Masonic Hall on Risley Street in Macclesfield.
