A MOTORBIKE group has helped to buy toys for children with physical and mental disabilities.
Steve Hicks, of Darlington Motorcycle Action Group, organised the rally in the town on Saturday to provide toys for Harewood Lodge, a child development centre in Darlington.
His daughter, Bethany, three, attends the centre, which provides therapy for the youngsters.
Each biker who attended the rally was asked to bring a toy to donate to the centre.
A fundraising evening on Saturday night, including a raffle with donated prizes, raised more than £250 to buy sensory toys for Harewood Lodge.
Steve said: "The centre did not have many toys, so we decided to try to raise some money for them. We are hoping that this will become an annual event.
"I'd like to thank all those who took part in the rally and the fundraising night."
