Burnley’s fabulous version of the BBC’s hit TV show Strictly Come Dancing took place at Impact Conferencing (Life Church) last Friday.
Pendleside Hospice again teamed up with Sandersons Dance & Fitness to run the event for a second year, pairing up local “celebrities” with professional dancers. The charity has so far raised more than £50,000 on its JustGiving page, including Gift Aid, from the dancers' own fundraising initiatives, as well as donations made on the night.
The hospice hopes to smash last year’s total of £56,555,96. It will reveal the final total for 2024 in a few weeks' time.
Liam Kilbride, Managing Director at LPK Facilities Management Ltd, Burnley, took home the crown after being paired up with Jess Duxbury.
Second place went to Dan Randall, one of the directors at Life Church, and his dance partner Jess Porter.
Daisy Group sponsored the event.
