A RACE Night held by Yarm District Lions Club in March helped raised £1,000 for the Butterwick Hospice.

The club also recently presented a cheque for £500 to Helen Irvine, the chairman of the committee of the Stockton Autism Support Group which was set up in September 2000.

They raised the money by holding a trolley dash at Safeway's store at Ingelby Barwick.
