A CHURCH which plans to launch a playgroup and kids' club is sending questionnaires to 1,500 homes in the town to find out how many parents are interested.

Christ Church, Accrington, which last surveyed residents four years ago, plans to start a pre-school playgroup, and kids' clubs to run after school and during holidays.

The Rev Kevin Logan said: "These projects will aim to provide professional support and care for children, but only if we can accurately establish that there is still the need."

To help with the survey call 01254 235089.
