EVENTS including a sponsored head shave have raised more than £1,000 for a severely disabled three-year-old boy.
Staff at the Rural Payments Agency, based in Northallerton, have been fundraising for Joshua Peacock for the last year. In total they raised £1,134 for Joshua, of Northallerton, who suffers from a form of cerebral palsy and needs constant care.
Agency employee Danny Hawkins raised £645 through sponsorship when he had his hair shaved off.
Mr Hawkins, who lives at Catterick Garrison, said: "I regretted it when I had done it to start with because the weather changed and it was a bit cold up top!
"Everyone has been really generous, I didn't really expect to raise this much."
