LOCAL businesses have helped raise nearly £1,500 for charity at a quiz and supper.
The event, in aid of Vision Aid Overseas, was held recently at Tennants Auctioneers, in Leyburn.
About 100 people from local businesses enjoyed a supper and took part in a quiz hosted by former Emmerdale soap star Kathryn Apanowicz.
Organiser Michele de Vaal said: "Once again, I've been overwhelmed by the support and generosity shown by local people."
The quiz was won by staff from the Leyburn branch of HSBC, after they initially tied with Andy Orkney Opticians.
Teams from Scotts Wright Solicitors, Hilco, Leyburn Dental Practice, Greyfriars and Cowen and Morgan Opticians also took part.
The money will be used to provide pairs of glasses to people living in Africa.
