EAST RIDING: A Hessle family are aiming to give hope to those with heart failure after organising an event for the British Heart Foundation's (BHF) Mending Broken Hearts Appeal.

The Barker family and their friends were today holding a craft fair at Tower Methodist Church Hall in the town.

The family have raised more then £1,500 for the appeal after Paul Barker passed away in July 2010, aged 60.

He suffered a heart attack in 2002, which resulted in heart failure.
