Hound trailers have raised money to help a life-saving rescue service.

A donation of £1,000 has been made to the Great North Air Ambulance Service after the money was raised at the Graham Burkinshaw Memorial Meeting at Mirkholme in early September.

Cockermouth Community Hospital also received £1,000 from the trailers as they cared for Mr Burkinshaw during his illness.

Trailers Shirley Crossland, Brian Graham and John Graham visited the GNAAS base with two of their hounds, Tommy’s Legacy and Tagget, to present the money.
