A HOSPITAL'S dedicated followers of fashion are taking to the catwalk later this month to raise funds for a much-needed facility.

Staff at Northallerton's Friarage Hospital are joining together with residents to put on a fashion show to boost an appeal for a hydrotherapy pool.

Doctors and nurses will be swapping their everyday uniforms for something a touch more glamorous, and are hoping to raise about £1,500 towards the £100,000 overall cost.

The show takes place in the nurses' recreation area on Monday, October 15, at 7.15pm. Tickets, priced £5, are available from Kath Hutton on (01609) 764849.
