A TEAM of charity workers and their friends from Hyndburn will be taking part in the Total Warrior event next weekend to raise money to help young people in the area.

Sharon, Paula and Jason run the charity YNOT Hyndburn and will take part in the Total Warrior assault course in the Lake District on Saturday, August 3 with a group of 20 friends to raise money and awareness.

Chief officer Sharon Burch said: “Although we know this is going to be tough, we wanted to do it to raise awareness and some money for the charity and we are hoping to bring in as much as possible to help the young people of Hyndburn.

“Every penny donated will come directly to the charity and will really help us to make a difference to young people here.”

Anyone wishing to donate can text YNOT13 and the amount they want to donate to 70070.
