A COFFEE morning at Sedgefield Methodist Church raised more than £800 to provide medical supplies for Kenya.
The event was also held to support congregation member George Simpson, a fourth year medical student at Dundee University, who is to spend eight weeks in Kenya from next month as part of his training.
Mr Simpson will be based at a Methodist mission hospital, and members of the Sedgefield church decided to hold the coffee morning to raise money so he can take a small amount of medical equipment with him.
