TORY MP Anne Widdecombe was the guest speaker at a fundraising lunch in aid of a hospice that cares for youngsters.
The Coxwold Ladies Group organised the event at York Racecourse last week in aid of Martin House Hospice.
The hospice is based in Boston Spa, near Wetherby, but is used by young people and their families from across Yorkshire.
The event raised £3,000, which will pay for a mobile sensory unit for use by the hospice's home care team.
