AIREDALE Hospital's neonatal unit has received an £800 boost.

The cash was raised through a bonfire event held by Matt and Katie Airey, of Pinnacle Events, Sutton-in-Craven, at their farm in the village.

Around 400 people attended the event, which also included fireworks, a DJ, bar and food stalls.

The couple chose to support the unit in tribute to the care received there by their daughter, Bonnie, following her birth in May last year.

Katie said: "Experiencing the unit first-hand showed how incredible the nurses there are. The support was amazing, so we wanted to give something back."

The event was sponsored by Airedale Chemical, the Old White Bear, Leighton Estate Agents and Wilman & Wilman.

Katie added: "It was a fantastic event, and we would like to thank all the businesses that gave sponsorship and everyone who helped us out. We hope to repeat the event year after year!"
