A THIRTIETH anniversary party raised cash for the NSPCC at Britannia Building Society.

Staff invited customers to a party and buffet to mark three decades of the Blackburn branch on Wednesday.

Children enjoyed a lucky dip and face painting.

A colouring competition was won by nine-year-old Jenna Scott, of Darwen, and 12-year-old Charlotte Leaver, of Darwen, won a wordsearch competition. They both received £20 toy vouchers.

More than 150 people attended the event, in King William Street, and £77 was collected for the NSPCC, which is Britannia's charity for the year.
