PUPILS from Burnley College are planning a five-a-side football tournament to help raise funds for an East Lancashire hospice.

Business administration students are organising the event to help raise the £1.5 million Pendleside Hospice, needs each year.

The Reedley-based charity offer services and care to patients with life-threatening illnesses.

Local businesses will sponsor the event in May and the students will also hold a number off fundraising activities in the run up to the tournament.

Donations to the hospice can be made by telephoning 01282 440100.
