CHORLEY MP Lindsay Hoyle opened St George’s Church Christmas Fair helping raise funds for the church.

Lindsay was invited to attend the fair, visit the stalls and speak to the volunteers involved in organising the event.

Mr Hoyle said: “St George’s Church take a lot of time and effort to organise the Christmas Fair and once again the church hall was packed full of stalls with a range of items on sale.

“I would like to congratulate Alan Gibson and all the volunteers who work hard all year round raising much needed funds for the church, which are then put to good use in the local community.”
