A TOWN supermarket is celebrating a bumper year for fundraising after collecting a total of £37,000 for charity.

Asda Spennymoor has raised the cash for a host of local, national and international good causes.

The store's efforts started in January with an appeal in aid of victims of the Asian tsunami and other big campaigns include Tickled Pink for Breast Cancer Care in September and Children In Need in November.

Store manager Maurice Goldsborough said: "There are so many organisations who have helped, it is impossible to list them all.

"Local animal charities also benefited as did the Royal British Legion, from the street party held in August.

"Looking back over the year, I don't know how we fitted it all in."

Mr Goldsborough and fundraising and events co-ordinators Ann Allison and Jane Warren thanked colleagues, customers and other businesses for their tireless support.
