A Norfolk pub looking to support good causes galore has raised more than £10,000 in under a month. 

The Railway Tavern in Dereham has had a busy few weeks raising money for various causes, including Great Ormond Street Hospital. 

The fundraising efforts started with Corey's Day, which raised £7,000 for the Kelly family who found out earlier this year that 11-year-old Corey had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. 

A week later, the pub held its own golf open day, which brought in more than £3,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Paul Sandford, who runs the Railway Tavern and is one of the organisers for the charity events, said Great Ormond Street Hospital was particularly special to him.

He said: "My grandson had open heart surgery at 18 months and they were just brilliant looking after him. 

"My best friend was also in the hospital for the first 15 years of his life. He shouldn't be here but thanks to the work the hospital's done, he is and we're really grateful for that."

The pub has also hosted two music events in aid of the Listening Post and Football Against Dementia respectively, which raised £1,200.

Mr Sandford said: "Our insurers also said they would be match funding, which has been a massive help."

In between the two music festivals, the Railway Tavern donated four televisions to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

He said: "They went to the baby unit in an area for parents with poorly children who stay the night.

"There aren't any windows in that room so we just wanted to offer a home comfort."

"We used the money from the tickets for the Euros to pay for the TVs."

Mr Sandford said: "Thank you to all the supporters and the wider Dereham public. They are just incredible and so supportive, we really couldn't do anything without them. 

"Also a massive thank you to our sponsors who really are amazing and don't get enough credit."
