A cheque from fundraising will help a hospital buy a physiotherapy bicycle.

The £2,400 was presented to East Cleveland Hospital, in Brotton, by Saltburn Rotary Club at Saltburn golf club on Wednesday.

The money was raised through events held over the past 18 months, including two shopping dashes at Somerfield's supermarket in the town, a carol concert and a big band evening.

President Tony Chapman said the 23-member club also raised £1,000 for the British Red Cross's appeal for the Asian tsunami through a bag-packing day at Somerfield's.
