STEPPING UP: Brenda Thwaites, Bill Carter, Frank Ashmore, Jenny Watson, Pauline Connelly, Ruth Robson and Kath Iceton helped raise more than £4,000 for Teesdale branch of Cancer Research UK by walking 10,000 steps each day during March
HUNDREDS of thousands of steps were walked across the dale last month to raise almost £5,000 for cancer research.
Eight members and supporters of Teesdale’s branch of Cancer Research UK took to streets and pathways to take on the 10,000 Steps in March challenge, raising some £4,500 for the charity.
With gift aid the figure is likely to be close to £5,000.
Pam Ashmore, of the Teesdale branch, paid tribute to Brenda Thwaites, Bill Carter, Frank Ashmore, Ruth Robson, Pauline Connelly, Jenny Watson, Alison Sabey and Kath Iceton who undertook the challenge.
PARTY TIME: Denise Coll, Marie Scown and Louise Metcalfe at Middleton Care
KIND-hearted staff at Middleton Care brought a little extra cheer across the dale when they put together special Christmas afternoon tea boxes for clients.
The care provider normally invites clients to a Christmas party, but were unable to do so this year. However, care staff decided to take the party to their clients. In their free time Denise Coll, Marie Scown, Louise Metcalfe, Diana Nicholson and Yvonne Metcalfe at the village’s Masonic Hall put together about 100 party boxes filled with treats including mince pies, quiches and sandwiches before delivering them across the dale for clients to enjoy at home. Ms Metcalfe said: “We normally have a party at the Masonic Hall and everyone really enjoys it. Alison Sayer usually whips up a lovely meal and then we have a singer to entertain.
