FORMER workmates of an NHS carer have raised more than £1,000 in her memory.

Staff at Wellfield House, Wingate, East Durham, raised £1,300 in memory of former colleague Lynn Miles, who died from cancer recently.

The mother-of-two was nursed at Butterwick Hospice in Stockton, and her former colleagues will give the money to the hospice.

The Wellfield House staff held a charity night at Trimdon Labour Club, Trimdon, near Sedgefield, to raise the funds.
