A MINI Cooper promoting a joint appeal for East Lancashire's three hospices will spend May in Blackburn, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley.

Each month, since last September, Rossendale, East Lancashire and Pendleside hospices, have taken it in turns to display a car, similar to one which can be won in a raffle, around their region.

Money raised in each area will go to that hospice rather than having a three way split.

This week the car, and volunteers selling raffle tickets for £1 each, will be at Clitheroe Market on Tuesday, Cobden Court, Blackburn town centre on Wednesday, Booths supermarket at Clitheroe on Thursday, Blackburn Tesco on Friday, Asda Accrington on Saturday and Clitheroe Tesco on Sunday.

The draw will be held in August.
