THE Summer Event organised by the League of Friends of Evesham Community Hospital at the Northwick Hotel, Evesham, last Saturday raised £990.

Chairman Frances Smith said: "Once again local people have proved very generous and supportive of our hospital and its staff which is very much appreciated."

She added: "Particular thanks must go to all volunteers who helped on the day, to the many local firms who very generously donated goods for sale and also to the management of the Northwick Hotel who continue to be very supportive to the Friends and the hospital."
