A Lancashire performing arts company has announced a new charity partnership with a children's charity.

Ohana Party and Events, based in Chorley, said it has chosen Child Action Northwest (CANW) as its charity partner.

To celebrate their partnership, the company held a "Once Upon A Royal Ball" event at the Mecure Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa, where £5,000 was donated to the charity.

Managing director of Ohana Party and Events, Katie Smith, said: "Ohana really does mean family, and we have chosen the perfect charity, Child Action Northwest.

"With their incredible dedication, hard work, and family focus, we are so proud to be able to donate and help children grow and become the superheroes of our stories."

As well as this donation, the charity received invitations for many of their young carers and fostering families to attend the "Royal Ball".

Georgia Murphy, fundraising and events lead of CANW, said: "We are delighted to be partnered with such a beautiful organisation as Ohana.

"Their values are very similar to our own and their generosity to our work and our young people has been truly heartwarming to be a part of.

"We’re excited to be included in their future plans and are grateful for the continued support of Katie and her team at Ohana."

With this donation, CANW can continue to support children, adults, and families across the North West, ensuring that when life presents difficult circumstances, CANW can be there every step of the way to make sure they get the support they need.

Tickets are on sale for Ohana Party and Events' "Halloween Spooktacular" and can be bought at tickettailor.com.
