GENEROUS customers from a Northallerton supermarket have raised cash for a local charity.

The town's Mayor, Councillor Jack Dobson, visited Somerfield to be presented with a cheque for £200 for Hospice Homecare.

The charity has been adopted as the mayor's main cause for this year.

The mayoress, Hilary Dobson, is vice-chairman of the charity.

Sue Thompson and Maggie Spence, from Somerfield, organised a tombola and chose to donate the proceeds to the charity because they felt it was a good local cause.

Coun Dobson said: "Well done Somerfield. This cheque is gratefully received."
