A SUPPORT group for people with an incurable nerve disease has been presented with a cheque for £2,000.

The Ned North Lodge, Darlington and district branch, handed over the cash to the Multiple Sclerosis Hambleton Support Group at a social evening in Northallerton.

Chairman Tony Crimston and secretary Chris Crimston accepted the cheque on behalf of the group, from the club's social chairman Alan Wright.

It is the second group to benefit from the club's fundraising efforts this year. Proceeds from a raffle on the night will go towards the next adopted charity.

Members of the Redcar and Darlington branches were also present at the event.
