STAFF and patients at Malton Hospital's stroke and rehabilitation unit received a boost when a band of fundraisers from Pickering Co-op presented it with £3,350.
Ward manager Sue Bryan said she was delighted. "Such a large amount of money will make a real difference to the unit," she said.
A team of about 20 staff from the Co-op has kept up a constant fundraising drive, which included raffles, cake stalls, quizzes and much more.
Madeline Buckingham, one of the fundraisers, said: "Quite a few of us take part,but it's down to the generosity of the general public that we've raised this much.
"We chose Malton Hospital because it's local and several of us have had relatives and friends nursed there."
