FUNDRAISERS at a high street store will take part in an anniversary event today for a local hospital.

Marks & Spencers is celebrating its 125th anniversary by trying to raise £1.25million over 125 days across the country.

In Darlington, staff at the store will start their fundraising on Friday, May 1, for a premature baby unit at Darlington Memorial Hospital.

Staff have organised a range of events including bag packing, a staff netball match, sponsored weight loss and an auction.
