AN ARTIST from Kirkbymoorside has launched a Christmas card campaign for a well-known Ryedale charity.
Rob Temple, 40, who works as a mechanic at Cropton garage, has designed two Christmas cards to raise funds for Ryedale Special Families (RSF).
The campaign has been launched to support the charity following an appeal by Carrie Brackstone, whose daughter, Ruby, seven, is losing her sight.
As reported by the Gazette and Herald, Carrie is urging anyone who would usually send a Christmas card to donate the money to RSF.

The Malton-based charity supports families who have children and young adults with disabilities, illness and additional needs, throughout Ryedale.
RSF now owns a piece of land in Pickering for a new purpose-built facility but needs to raise £1 million to begin the work.
On the back of this appeal, Rob said he wants to help the charity raise “as much money as possible” and is offering the chance for people to donate and still receive a Christmas card.
The cards are priced at £2.50 or five cards for £10, and are currently on sale from Cropton Garage - with all funds going to RSF.
More information can be found by phoning Cropton Garage on 01751 417479.
