ONE of Robbie Williams's old band mates is helping out nurses at the Royal Bolton Hospital to raise cash for their patients.

Jason Orange, a former member of Take That, has donated a gold disc to staff on the J2 ward for a raffle.

All the proceeds will go towards helping patients who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and other dementia.

Nurse Carol Evans, who has helped organise many charity events for the ward, said: "Jason heard about our fund-raising and decided he wanted to help."

The framed prize features a CD, a photograph of Take That and a plaque.

Anyone who would like to buy a raffle ticket, costing £1 each, can contact Carol on 594220 or 390804. The draw is on Friday, December 7.
