A charity fun day for the St Paul's Scouts at Oswaldtwistle Mills proved to be a huge success.

The annual event was attended by dozens of families who were joined by the Mayor of Hyndburn, Cllr Mike Booth.
 
A Fellowship Award was presented to Oswaldtwistle Mills, to recognise their support and opening their grounds to host the event every year. 

Chair of St Paul's Scouts, Mick Shackleton, said: "We present our Fellowship Award annually to organisations or people who go above & beyond supporting our Scout group.

"Oswaldtwistle Mills are only the second recipients to receive this award, with James Shelliker from Acorn Woodcraft being the first - he's the chainsaw carver who's provides us with a hand carved bench each year for the first prize in the raffle. We are so grateful for all their support."

Managing Director of Oswaldtwistle Mills, Nick Pitman said: "Each year we look forward to the St Paul's Scouts coming in to hold their Family Fun Day, and this year it was nice weather and we had lots of visitors enjoying their day.

"It was very kind of them to award their Fellowship Award to us, and all the staff are delighted. We wish them all the best, and look forward to seeing them again next year!"

Fundraising activities were sponsored by businesses including Townfield Care, Property Shop, Scott Dawson Advertising and Acorn Woodcraft.
