STUDENTS from Darlington created a festive joke book to raise money for charity.

Proceeds from the book, penned by teenagers from Darlington College of Technology, will go to St Teresa's Hospice.

Tutor Brian Simpson said: "We had a visitor from the hospice who talked to the students about the work they do.

"After hearing what she had to say, the students decided they wanted to do something to help and came up with the idea of a joke book."

The college printed 100 copies. The book, which costs £1, also contains puzzles and games.
