CHARITIES and organisations throughout the region have received a boost from a police force.
Each year, the Durham Police Motorcycles group stages a family fun day, called Bikewise, to raise money for charity.
The beneficiaries this year were St Teresa's Hospice in Darlington, South Cleveland Hospital Care Unit, Cerebral Palsy, North Durham Motorcycle Club, Durham Advanced Motorcyclists, Eshwinning Girl Guides and Scott Hall.
PC David Pounder, of the group, said: "The event was a great success and enjoyed by everyone who attended. We managed to raise £4,500, which was shared among seven beneficiaries."
This year's event will be on Sunday, August 19, at Durham police headquarters in Aykley Heads, Durham City.
