She added: “Thank you to everyone who supported the charity by coming along. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for over 60s, but we can only carry out that work by people supporting fundraising events like this one.”

The money raised from the event will go towards helping isolated, older people in Wetherby and its surrounding villages.
