VOLUNTEERS raised £500 for their local hospital by dancing the night away.
Nite City Promotions, which raises money for local charities, organised a red nose disco in Northallerton at the Hambleton Forum.
The idea was to raise as mush money as possible for specialist equipment for the Friarage Hospital.
The money raised at the event will go towards a diathermy machine, which detects the early symptoms of cancer of the bowel and will benefit many patients.
Local youngsters aged between seven and 14 years boogied for hours to music provided by Starlight Disco.
Staff from the unit are continuing their own fundraising drive to pay for the machine, which costs about £7,000.
Donations can be made by calling the hospital on (01609) 764847.
