PRIZES are needed for a Millennium event in aid of Meadwhead Infant and Junior schools.

The schools in Shorrock Lane and Anglesey Street, Blackburn, are joining forces to hold a summer fair with a special raffle, and organisers hope to have dozens of prizes to give away.

Julie Major-Smith, chairman of the Parents' Association of Meadowhead Infant School, said: "Our sponsors will be acknowledged in the events programmes and all proceeds will go towards enhancing the quality of education we provide for the children of our two schools."

Anyone who would like to give a prize can call Meadowhead Infant School on 01254 693805.
