A family is commemorating the loss of two relatives with a special charity night.

The family of Jean Riley Scott and nine-year-old Philip Holmes are raising money for Hyndburn Macmillan Cancer Support and the Critical Care Unit at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, with a fundraising disco and raffle at the Whittakers Arms, in Accrington, on Saturday, December 14 , from 8pm.

Jean lost her battle with cancer last year, while Philip died in a road traffic accident in 2010.

Tickets are available from the Huncoat Newsagents and Sandwich Shop on Station Road. There is a suggested donation of £3.
