CHILDREN with diabetes and the Great North Air Ambulance have both benefited from fundraising by Bishop Auckland Rotary Club.

Club president Dr Ian Lloyd presented £700 each to the ambulance and a fund set up to transform the lives of young diabetes sufferers by hospital consultant Dr Bill Lamb.

Rotarians have now raised £10,000 for Dr Lamb's charity which buys insulin pumps for his patients, and £2,000 for the air ambulance service.
