A spokesman for the Casterbridge Rotary Club said: "The people of Dorchester are simply amazing. Donations ranged from some very large donations from group collections in workplaces to some young people of school age giving everything they had in their pocket."

The club will be out collecting again on Wednesday and Saturday.
