A FUN day has raised �1,000 for a charity which brings to life the dreams of terminally or seriously ill children.

The event, which took place at David Lloyd Hatfield last Saturday, featured a number of activities, including football coaching, an obstacle course and a children's entertainer called Mr Tiz.

It also featured cheerleaders, a barbecue, face painting and henna tattoos.

The fun day was organised by Hatfield resident Tina Glover to raise money for Dreams Come True.

Mum-of-two Tina said: "The children had an amazing time.

"Mr Tiz was absolutely fantastic."

Tina, 33, had hoped to raise �10,000 from the event and admitted she was a little disappointed not to collect more than �1,000.

But a spokesman for the charity said she need not be disheartened.

Adrian Atkinson, the fundraising manager for Dreams Come True, said: "She will have fulfilled one child's dream, no doubt about it.

"She needs a huge pat on the back.
