TWO charities have benefited after Northallerton Riding Club raised £608 with a summer charity ride.

Pictured receiving cheques are John Marshall, chief instructor with Riding for the Disabled, and Andrew and Amanda Cook of Manddet, a charity created to fund further education of health care professionals involved in the care of diabetic ante-natal and post-natal patients at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton.

The RDA group meets at Yafforth EC from 9-10.30am on Thursdays and anyone interested in helping can ring Mr Marshall on 01677 422325.

Anyone who would like to support Manddet can contact Andrew and Amanda on 01845 537349.
