SHOPPERS helped victims of the Boxing Day tsunami when they enjoyed a traditional Shrove Tuesday snack yesterday.
The Milburngate Shopping Centre, in Durham, sold pancakes to passers-by at £1 a go, with proceeds going to the Red Cross appeal to help the stricken Asian countries.
The stall was manned by centre manager Andy Bradley and administrator Inga Johnson, and staff did the cooking.
Mr Bradley said: "The Red Cross has had such a fantastic response to its tsunmai appeal and our shoppers have already been more than generous.
"However, the fundraising needs to continue and we thought that Shrove Tuesday was an ideal time for our shoppers to enjoy a pancake while helping to raise even more money for the appeal.
"It was a great success and raised more than £100. All the pancakes went, it was a complete sell-out."
