A CANCER unit is £250 better off thanks to the moneymaking efforts of the Northallerton and District Lioness Club.

The money will go towards the funding of an aromatherapy service for cancer patients at the Mowbray suite at the town's Friarage Hospital. The suite mainly treats cancer patients and people requiring day case treatments. The new service, which will be starting shortly, will benefit patients at what can be a very vulnerable time in their lives.
