FUNDRAISERS in Helmsley have raised more than £2,000 for St Catherine’s Hospice at a charity evening.

Almost 100 people supported the sell-out event at the Feathers Hotel which was organised by Rita Brown, of the Helmsley Support Group.

Hospice fundraiser Penny Campbell said: “On behalf of the hospice and Rita, I want to thank everyone who came along and everyone who helped on the night. We had some very generous prizes donated by local businesses which helped to make the event such a success.”
