MEMBERS of Saltburn Animal Rescue Association (Sara) will take a bracing dip in the sea on New Year's Day to help raise funds.

Meanwhile recent fundraising events, including a social evening in Guisborough and a table top sale at Ings Farm School, raised £665. That means the fund to build an animal sanctuary in east Cleveland is now up to £75,000, with the Buy a Brick appeal particularly successful having raised £3,441.

The group's next meeting will be held in the TocH premises on Wednesday, at 7.30pm. For details call Sara's helpline, Monday to Friday, from 9am to 1pm on (01287) 201005.
