A FAMILY fun day raised thousands of pounds for multiple sclerosis (MS) sufferers.

It was held in Elmridge Methodist Church Hall, Darlington, and included a football memorabilia auction and a disco.

Children were entertained by a bouncy castle and a martial arts demonstration.

More than £2,300 was raised for Darlington District MS Society, which supports sufferers across the town.

Lisa Oates, who helped to organise the day, said: "It was a fantastic day, and although it got off to a rainy start, the sunshine even came out for the afternoon."

Ms Oates said the team of organisers would like to thank everyone who attended or helped with the event.
