An impressionist and satirist helped raise £322,000 for charity.

Rory Bremner helped raise the money at the Distressed Investment Dinner for Norwood, a charity that supports children and adults with learning disabilities, and vulnerable families.

Based in Stanmore, Norwood runs The Kennedy Leigh Family Centre in Edgeworth Close, Hendon. Mr Bremner performed impersonations during his set, before taking questions from the audience.

Lawrence Black, who has been supported by the charity for 50 years, also gave an appeal speech.

The dinner took place on Monday in Mayfair, and was sponsored by the London office of international law firm Bingham McCutchen.

Neville Kahn, Norwood Trustee and chair of the distressed investment dinner committee, said: "We've exceeded our fundraising target once again, and it was all thanks to the generosity of our sponsor and the audience. The money raised tonight will do a tremendous amount of good."
