WE held a Charity Day for Mesothelioma UK last Saturday in the village hall in Bishopthorpe.

We raised a massive £1,154 which will go to the Mesothelioma UK Research Fund.

We need to raise more awareness of this horrible cancer so there will be a cure in the future.

We would like to thank all friends and neighbours who baked cakes, sold raffle tickets, provided prizes for the tombola and local firms who donated prizes for the raffle.

All your help was greatly appreciated we could not have done it alone. Many thanks to all of you.
