TWO events organised by Highfield Care Home, at Barkston Ash, raised nearly £500 for charity.

A swing band concert, involving pupils of Tadcaster Grammar School, raised £349 for Selby District Council’s Chairman Charity Fund.

A fashion show, presented by Room 3 at the home, raised £149 for the Tadcaster Treat Association (TTA).
