Last Saturday the Trust raised £698 in support of Blooming Shotley Bridge. Thank you to all those who bought tickets or gave donations and to the YMCA for hosting the event. It would not have been a success without the support, also, of 14 local businesses which sponsored the races or gave raffle prizes.
