Colour Run challenge is a synch for Burnley charity members who conquered it to raise grand total of £4,600

The charity, which exists to give adults with learning needs the opportunity to develop, socialise and explore their ideas and goals through a wide variety of educational, social and practical activities, is not standing still either and has a raft of fund raising events on the calendar.

Members are staging their annual duck race in August and an Elvis tribute night is already a sell out. In November the group will host a fire walk event and in December the Christmas Sparkle ball takes place in a converted church in Bacup.

All the cash raised is ploughed back into the group towards activities and outings.

Last year the group earned a coveted award for the resilience shown throughout the pandemic. It was presented with a Mayor s Medal for staying strong and connected during the pandemic despite the group having to close for over six months.
