EVENTS galore are being organised in Pendle to celebrate a charity's 60th birthday.

During Age Concern Week, local charity volunteers have organised events including a grand raffle on September 4 at the Earby Pop-In and Barnoldswick Pop-In centres and another raffle will be at the Earby Day Centre on September 5. A day out to the Circa Ballet in Blackpool and a meal for the Pendle groups from Trawden, Roughlee and Higham will be held on September 6.

An Age Concern spokesman said: "We hope that by making people aware of the work of Age Concern Lancashire in Pendle, they will be able to see how our service provision meets the needs of local older people."
