I WOULD like to thank everyone who has contributed to our 'Christmas Challenge' campaign this year.

Due entirely to the generosity of the readership and over 60 companies, disadvantaged people throughout the area will be able to enjoy a brighter and happier festive period.

However, please do not think it is too late to become involved. The Europrint sponsored Employee Community Involvement project operates from the Blackburn Partnership offices based at 11 Richmond Terrace in Blackburn centre.

We take donations throughout the year and pass all items received on to those in genuine need through registered local agencies.

If you are able to help, please contact our office on 01254 661166. We will be delighted to assist your efforts to help those less fortunate living locally.

Once again, many thanks to everyone for your generous and continuing support. It is very much appreciated.

MRS WENDY HOBSON, Europrint Employee Involvement Manager, Blackburn Partnership.
