A DANCE group has raised £250 for charity by holding raffles.

Dancing Divas at The Knights Line Dancing Group organised the events in aid of Pendl-eside Hospice, based at Reedley.

The group meets every Thursday at 2pm at the Bethesda Church Hall, in Burnley.

The money raised will help the hospice provide care to local people suffering from cancer and other life limiting illnesses.

Current annual runn-ing costs now exceed £2.85 million, of which, more than £2 million has to be raised from fundraising and don-ations.
