A NEW charity foodbank has been boosted by a curry night fundraiser.
The Durham Foodbank was set up by a group of churches in the city this summer, in response to a growing need for emergency food supplies.
Leaders have since held their first two food collection days, in Durham City and Stanley.
The cause was boosted by an Indian food night held at Le Raaj restaurant, in Chester Moor, near Chester-le-Street, on Thursday, November 17.
Sixty-five people attended and the event raised £680, including some personal donations from Le Raaj staff.
Organisers said the food was excellent and everyone enjoyed an entertaining evening with great service.
The Foodbank’s next food collection day will be held at Tesco Extra, in Dragonville, Durham City, on Wednesday, November 30.
