MONEY raised at a Christmas fair in Waterfoot this weekend will be sent to help the needy at home and overseas.

Staff at the British Red Cross in Burnley Road East, Waterfoot, organised a visit from Santa, a raffle, mince pies, coffee and a toy sale to raise money for the charity.

Centre Organiser, Linda Rogerson said: "The money will be used for people in our own country and those abroad. It will help the homeless, elderly and infirm."
