AN award winning photographer raised £100 for multiple sclerosis sufferers and put a dale's residents in the picture at the same time.

Liz Laidler, from Weardale Studios, in Stanhope, collected the cash for the Weardale Multiple Sclerosis Society by waiving her sitting fee and donating £1 for every portrait session booked during a promotional period.

She also organised a raffle, which was won by Gaynor Irwin from Stanhope.
