Nearly £11,000 has been raised after a mikveh in Greater Manchester was hit by severe flooding.

Cheadle, a village to the south-east of Manchester, was hit by a month’s rain in just 24 hours last week, causing the nearby Micker Brook tributary to burst its banks.

The mikveh, in the newly-expanded Cheadle Chabad House, was flooded, with waters rising to a few feet.

The main Chabad House building was only partially flooded.
