WE would like to thank the local people who supported our organisation at the Blackburn Rovers v Bolton Wanderers game at Ewood Park on April, 30.

We raised a fantastic £612.

This money will go to support our free Advice and Information service for older people and their carers.

We need to raise £115,000 annually to continue this invaluable service which last year helped over 5, 500 people in Blackburn and Darwen, so we are very grateful to the Ewood Park crowd for their support.
