THERE has been a fantastic start to our A Decade Of Hope fundraising. The Shipley family’s charity is aiming to raise £10,000 for Cancer Research in memory of Diane Shipley. It has already reached more than £7,500.

A big thank-you to the many people and businesses who have sent us donations and also bought tickets for Chloe’s Hope Concert at the Milton Rooms, Malton on Sunday, May 15.

The concert is now a sell-out with more than 500 people coming to watch. Fantastic, and thank you.

If you would like to make a donation or donate a raffle prize for the Hope Concert phone 01904 761809.

Our target is getting smaller by the day.
