A CHARITY event has resulted in two Darlington businesses joining forces to help raise money for Children in Need.

Louise Peirson-McCourt, of Learn with Louise Driver Training, is taking part in The Big Learner Relay as part of the annual fundraising event.

And she has combined her efforts with Danesmoor House Day Nursery in Darlington to raise even more money after its owner Adrian Crumpton spotted the driving instructor’s ‘spotty’ car when picked her son up.
