STAFF at a Darlington supermarket have raised money for the town's St Teresa's Hospice as part of anniversary celebrations.

The Asda store in Winfield, which is celebrating its second anniversary, held a number of events, including a charity car wash, with support from Alpha Radio.

Staff entered into the spirit of the event by dressing up and funds were also raised from a cake stall and raffle, while customers were entertained with a Punch and Judy show.

A total of £569.44 was raised from the effort.

Hospice director Jane Bradshaw said: "We would like to thank the staff at Asda and Alpha 103.2 for giving up their time to raise funds for the hospice. Everyone had a lot of fun and they raised a magnificent amount of money.

"Every penny helps St Teresa's Hospice continue to provide great care and support to those suffering from life-limiting illnesses.
