A councillor is celebrating a successful fundraising night for a local charity.
Hexham Cllr Trevor Cessford was pleased to announce that he raised £1,300 for Tynedale Hospice at Home from his race fundraiser night at Ponteland Social Club.
He said:"It was great to have such fantastic support off all who turned up, including local and regional Civic Heads.
"Many thanks to local Ponteland restaurateur, Sufi, who put on some wonderful Indian food, also to the many local firms that sponsored all the races.
"The final total raised on the night was approx £1300.
"I will also be holding a fundraising ball for the same charity at the Newcastle Falcons ground on March 11th.
"If any local businesses/groups/individuals would like to buy a table for the event or just help sponsor the night or donate raffle/auction prizes, please ring me on 07375 056339 or email me on trevor.cessford@northumberland.gov.uk."
