A Burnley-based group which helps disabled people start up their own businesses will mark its 10th anniversary with a reunion and three days of celebrations.

East Lancashire into Employment (ELE) has given help, advice and encouragement to many people who thought the prospect of working again was beyond their reach.

It is inviting back many of its old clients and community groups and having an open day next month.

The organisation, which recently moved to Queen Street Mill Museum, will officially open the newly-refurbished gallery areas.

The ceremony will be carried out by ELE's funders Nationwide Foundation.

Visitors can also tour the mill, Europe's last remaining steam drive cotton manufacturing works.

They will be entertained by music and performances in the gallery by ELE clients.

The celebrations run from September 22, with public viewing on September 23 and 24.
