A supermarket has handed out more than £10,000 to local community groups and good causes.
In total, £10,243 was raised through the Leyburn Co-op membership scheme.
This was split between the Jonas Centre in Redmire, which received £3,445, Swaledale Festival’s young artists platform, which got £3,269, and Middleham key Centre, which was handed £3,527.

For every Co-op product a member buys and uses their membership card at the till, the customer gets five per cent reward and one per cent goes to local causes.
Leyburn Co-=op manager Jonathan Barker said: “It costs £1 to become a member and is really important customers use their cards at the till point to get the rewards and donate the 1 per cent.
“Members can go online and choose where their one per cent goes too, or at the end of the round if they haven’t chosen a local cause it’s split between the three.”
Joanthan said the store was supporting the Old School House in Leyburn, the Scout and Guide Hall and Harmby Under-5s in the next round of fundraising for local causes.
