AN EVENING of dancing has raised hundreds of pounds for two charities.

Staff from Huddersfield University’s School of Human and Health Sciences staged a successful céilidh.

The event, held at the Students’ Union, featured local céilidh band ZigZag and a pie and peas supper.

It raised over £600 for Kirkwood and Overgate Hospices.

Staff held a similar event last year to raise funds for the charities, with which the school has a strong association.

University members presented a cheque to representatives from both charities.
