A HOTEL and spa has launched the start of its fundraising campaign for a spinal injury charity.

Rookery Manor Hotel and Spa based in Edingworth will spend the next six months raising money for Wings For Life, which aims to find cures for people affected by spinal cord injuries.

Its fundraising launched with a competition to guess how many balloons filled an Aston Martin car, and a 1960s, 1970s and 1980s revival charity ball will be held on June 20 from 7.30pm.

For tickets, priced £32, call 01934 751480.
