A RESTAURANT has raised £2,790 for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund in the wake of the Manchester terror attack.

Capannina pizzeria, in Sunny Bank Road, Unsworth, raised the sum through a raffle held at a special night starring Ariana Grande tribute act Almost Ariana, aka Melissa T.

The money, which has been collected, exceeded the £2,000 hoped for by Capannina, and goes towards the millions of pounds raised to support those affected by the attack.

Restaurant owner Dominic Bacci said he was delighted with the charity effort. He said: “Everyone had a great time, it was a really successful night.

Dominic organised the event after his niece and sister-in-law were at the Manchester Arena on the night of the terror attack, fortunately escaping unhurt.

“We just wanted to do something like One Love and raise some money to help the victims of a really tragic event.”
