A CASH crusade at a Teesdale village pub has raised more than £2,000 for a national children's charity.
The Queens Head, in Cockfield, held a host of fundraising activities in aid of the Children's Liver Disease Foundation.
Landlord and landlady Sue and David Baldwin said they were delighted with the support villagers gave to the charity appeal, which included a country and western night, a barbecue, raffles and a charity auction.
One villager, plumber David Finn, added £300 to the fund by volunteering for a sponsored headshave.
Local businesses supported the event by making donations and holding collection boxes.
Mr Baldwin said: "It was an excellent weekend. Everyone enjoyed themselves and lots of people turned out to get involved, even faces we don't usually see.
"Because of all the donations we got, all of the money raised goes to the charity."
The couple chose the charity because their five-year-old niece, who lives in South Shields, has a rare liver disease called A1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, which can only be cured by a transplant.
