A LEYTON woman is to wear a wedding dress for a day in aid of Diabetes UK.

Last year, Maria Perridge, of Vicarage Road, managed to raise more than £600 for the charity and this year hopes to better the total.

She will spend the entire day, including work, on August 28 in a wedding dress and is collecting sponsorship from friends and family.

An evening gathering is also to be held at the Walnut Tree House Club in Leyton.
