Two parties were held on Saturday and included entertainment, food and a gift.

John Sutheran, Hart of Our Club 1908 committee member, said: “It was really good. A lot of the people who came were relatively new to the area.”

Raffle prizes donated by Hartlepool United and the wider community included tops, match tickets, and food baskets.

Special thanks went to Hartlepool United and chaplain Chris Stuttard as well as sponsors TMD Friction, Steelworks social club and Morrisons.
