HAMPERS have been delivered by the visitation committee of the Blackburn and District Crippled Children's Aid Society to more than 30 families.

The society, based at the Ragged School United Reformed Church, Blackburn, seeks to support families who have a disabled child.

Chairman Alan Barnes, said: "This society's remit is to support individual disabled children and their families, by keeping in touch and sometimes helping with the additional cost of specialist equipment."

Anyone with a disabled child under 16 years of age, who wants further details should write to Mr Barnes at Blackburn Ragged School, Bent Street, or telephone 01254 51255.
