VOLUNTEERS from the Tees Group of the National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease raised £10,000 last year for medical research and have successfully started this year by raising £284 with a collection in Morrison's supermarket in Guisborough.

A support meeting for people with Crohn's or Colitis will be held at the Express by Holiday Inn, Marton Road, Middlesbrough, opposite the James Cook University Hospital.
