TRIBUTE has been paid to Skipton residents for their support of a charity fundraising campaign.
The Yorkshire Building Society Hour of Need initiative in aid of Marie Curie has raised more than £1 million.
A total of £379, enough to fund 18 hours of care, has been coined-in at the branch in Skipton.
"By supporting our campaign for the past two years the community here in Skipton has helped provide nursing care for people with a terminal illness in their hour of need," said Natalie Bolton, manager at the Keighley Road branch.
"Sadly, most of us know someone who has been affected by terminal illness, but the donations have made a real difference."
The campaign, launched in 2014, has more than doubled its target of raising £500,000 by December this year.
Dr Jane Collins, of Marie Curie, said: "The society has gone above and beyond to raise funds for us and we are truly grateful for everything staff and members have done."
