Cathy said: "A huge thank you to everyone who attended and continues to support Tynedale Hospice at Home. 

"We are very lucky to have such a wonderful community supporting the work of the Hospice."

The money raised from the event will support families in the Tynedale community who need access to the Hospice's care services, including end of life nursing care, bereavement support and hospital transport.
