A SCHEME has been launched for businesses to make sure the less fortunate have their best Christmas ever.

The Blackburn Partnership's Europrint Community Involvement Project kicked off 'Be a Star' in Ewood Park's Red Rose Suit yesterday. It aims to match businesses to one-off community challenges, such as:

Offering a couple of hours help at a local charity shop

Donation of tinned food for hampers

A collection of children's toys for charities.
