Captain Ivan Rookes has taken delivery of collections boxes, ribbons and a banner after launching the North East Autism Society as his chosen charity for 2020.

“North East Autism is the captain’s charity for 2020 and all donations are welcome,” Rookes said.

“I’d like to thank Sophie from NE autism for dropping of collection boxes and ribbons and the banner.

“If anybody would like to purchase the ribbons, they are located at the bar at Richmond Golf Club.”
