WOMEN'S Institute branches have got together to hold a basket bonanza for a hospital children's ward.

Members of Catterick, Hackforth, Richmond, Kirby Fleetham and Middleton Tyas and Moulton WI branches have filled baskets with a variety of items to raise money for the children's unit at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton.

The baskets will go on sale at Northallerton Town Hall next Saturday, from 9am to 3.30pm. Admission is free.
