ON BEHALF of the Europrint-sponsored Employee Community Involvement project, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to our 2007 Christmas Challenge campaign.

Due to the kindness of the Lancashire Telegraph (special thanks to Sharon Crymble), its readership and the generosity of over 100 companies and as many individuals, disadvantaged people throughout the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen and in the Hyndburn area too, have been able to enjoy a brighter and happier festive period.

However, it's not too late if you haven't already contributed. The Employee Community Involvement project operates all year round from offices now based at Suite One, Blackburn Enterprise Centre, Furthergate, Blackburn BB1 3HQ.

We take donations of most new items and pass them on to those in need through registered charities.

If you can help call our office on 01254 505050. We will be delighted to assist you to help those less fortunate living locally.

Thanks to everyone for your outstanding and continued support.

WENDY L HOBSON, Europrint Employee Involvement Manager, Community & Business Partners Ltd (formerly the Blackburn Partnership).
