CHILDREN IN NEED: Staff and students at Darlington College of Technology's Catterick campus held a fundraising day for Children in Need.

Staff had a dress-down day. Students designed web pages linked to the specially-created Hitpudsey website, and were sponsored for the number of hits. Over a 24-hour period, the site received nearly 10,000 hits. The day's favourite page, won a computer for the designer. The winner is yet to be announced. The College childcare centre held a quiz, the answers to which could be found on child-friendly websites via the Centre's four personal computers which children can use under supervision. A total of £230 was raised for Children in Need.

CHARITY FAIR: A charity fair held last month at Catterick Garrison raised £4,500. The fair had 37 stands selling everything from cashmere to gourmet cheeses, and attracted more than 400 visitors. Organiser Nikki Gaskell said she was thrilled with the turn-out, as were the exhibitors.

MEDIUM SIGHT: An evening of clairvoyance with medium Les Henderson will be held on Thursday at the White Rose Club, starting at 7.30pm.
