AN annual coffee morning at the Pensioners' Centre, Barnoldswick, raised almost £1,370 for Manorlands Hospice.

The Frank Street centre hosted the event for the third time, and each year has topped the amount it made the year before.

Organiser Amanda Foster, starting holding the events after her mother, Marlene, spent time at the hospice.

And, she thanked all her friends and the business community who helped bake cakes and donate prizes for a raffle.

And she also thanked Sharon Kay for allowing her salon to be a drop off point for prizes.

"I'd also like to thank all the wonderful people who were involved in the planning, spreading the word, who helped on the day, who baked, donated and spent. Thanks also to Southern Sounds who sponsored the room hire and to Ellie Carpendale who sang for us."

Manorlands fundraising assistant Liv Moffat said: "Each year Amanda raises even more for the hospice and when I went along to the cheque presentation she was already talking about next year's event."
