STAFF and regulars at a Darlington pub and restaurant have raised more than £1,000 for a local hospice.

The Old Farmhouse, near Middleton St George, Darlington, adopted St Teresa's Hospice as its charity earlier this year.

A craft fair and fun day were organised as the main fundraising event, and this was supplemented by Sunday night quiz evenings and raffles.

A total of £1,330 was raised for the hospice.

St Teresa's director, Jane Bradshaw, said she was delighted with the gift.

"This adoption by a local business means the message about St Teresa's and the services it provides is going out to a wide audience, and this is very encouraging, because we want to reach as many people as possible.
