A SCHEME to help disabled people maintain their independence has been boosted by a fundraising event.

The Scope charity in Huddersfield raised £215 with a bring-and-buy sale during an open day at its office on Wakefield Road, Moldgreen.

The charity supports people with physical disabilities, including cerebral palsy.

Money raised by the event will help to pay for the Vessel project, which trains volunteers to aid disabled people in their social lives.
