STAFF at a Darlington boutique are celebrating a landmark anniversary by raising money for charity.

Guru, in Blackwellgate, which sells alternative clothing and accessories, is running a raffle for St Teresa's Hospice to mark its 30th birthday.

Proceeds will go towards the hospice's Giving to Life beds appeal, supported by The Northern Echo.

Top prize in the raffle is £100 worth of vouchers to spend in Guru, with £50 for two runners-up. Tickets can be purchased from the store. The winning ticket will be drawn on Sunday, March 30.

The Giving to Life appeal has reached its £250,000 target and a new in-patient unit will shortly open. But the hospice must still raise £250,000 a year to keep the unit open. To make a donation call (01325) 254321
