A cancer charity is helping people abstain by asking them to hand over alcohol.

Bradford's Marie Curie Hospice wants as many bottles as possible to raffle at its Diamond & Daffodil Ball on Saturday, March 1, at the Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford.

Community Fundraising Manager Brenda Doyle said: "It's one way of avoidin will help raise money to help us care for cancer patients.

"The ball is one of our major fundraising events and this year marks the start of the charity's 60th anniversary.

"We want to make the evening a really good social and fundraising occasion and to add to the occasion we need your alcohol."

If anyone has bottles to give or wants more information about tickets for the ball, contact Brenda on (01274) 337036 or email her at brenda.doyle @mariecurie.org.uk.

Donations can also be dropped off at the hospice in Maudsley Street.
