A Hexham school rowing club has launched a Christmas raffle to raise funds for a new boat.
Queen Elizabeth High School (QEHS) Rowing Club in Hexham is running the raffle to support its growing team of athletes with updated equipment.
The draw will take place on December 13.
Pam Walton, head coach at QEHS Rowing Club, said: "Our rowers put in an incredible amount of hard work throughout the year.
"A new boat will make a huge difference to both training and competition.
"Every ticket purchased helps our young athletes continue doing what they love."
The club has expanded in recent years, with more students training on the River Tyne and competing at events across the region.
A new crew boat will help meet rising demand and replace ageing equipment, allowing the team to train effectively and race competitively.
The raffle is being hosted on JustGiving and offers a range of prizes donated by businesses, supporters, and the rowing community.
Supporters can view the full list of prizes and enter the raffle by visiting www.justgiving.com/campaign/rowingchristmasraffle.
Prizes include meals at the Wood Oven and Tango, hampers, lots of fizz, a ceramic piece by local artist Katrina McEvoy, and a hamper of local venison.
The club is urging the community to support the fundraiser by buying tickets, sharing the campaign, or helping spread the word.
