FOUR worthy causes have profited thanks to the fundraising efforts of regulars at a Northallerton pub.

Quiz nights at the Nags Head, in the High Street, have helped raise £1,000, which has been shared between the day unit and Brompton ward at the Friarage Hospital, Ashlands Day Centre and Mowbray Gateway Club.

The day unit will be putting the money towards a diathermy machine, which helps to detect early symptoms of cancer of the bowel. The Brompton ward will be using the cash to buy patient monitoring machines.

Ashlands Day Centre, which helps adults with learning difficulties, hopes to buy a video camera, and Mowbray Gateway Club, a youth club for people with learning disabilities, is going to treat members with a trip to the pantomime.
