A CHARITY that helps bereaved parents has held a day of fundraising.

The event at the town’s NatWest branch was organised by Huddersfield Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal charity.

Information about the charity was handed out and staff held a big prize raffle. Branches in Brighouse and Halifax held similar events.

The Sands support group, which is based at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, was set up by local couple Gareth and Rachael Brann.

Money raised from the day will go towards the refurbishment of two bereavement suites at Calderdale Royal Hospital.
