Fundraisers celebrated a successful first year and raised a further �2,000 in aid of the Long-Shaw Kids Fund at a Winter Masquerade Ball at Chorley Town Hall. The 170 guests who attended the event helped raise funds for the charity which aims to raise funds to enrich the lives of severely disabled children and raise awareness of the benefits they gain from attending short-break respite centres.Photography by John Cocks
