Watford Mayor Dorothy Thornhill presents a cheque to Dr Heather Straughan, from RISE.
Sponsorship to support Watford Mayor Dorothy Thornhill's Christmas card has raised £2,025 for charity.
Carol Rogers UA won the competition to design this year's card, which is sponsored by The Harlequin Centre, The Prince of Bengal restaurant, Watford FC, Presence, Sigma Pharmaceuticals plc, Geo Ausden Ltd, Brasier Freeth, Freedom and Saracens RFC.
The money will be donated to The Recovery In-sight Social Enterprise (RISE), a not-for-profit organisation run by mental health service users to help others in their recovery.
Mayor Thornhill said: “I am really happy to be able to support RISE in this way – thanks go to Carol for her lovely painting and to my kind sponsors.”
