A COUNSELLING service is celebrating a £14,000 Easter gift from the Lloyds TSB Foundation.

Specialist Mediation in East Lancashire (SMILE) of Burnley offers counselling to people who are involved in disputes, particularly in the areas of anti-social behaviour, racial abuse and vandalism.

It also teaches conflict resolution to individuals and groups. The cash go towards the salary of a manager for the group which will help them to expand their service.
