I WOULD like to thank everyone who contributed to our annual Christmas Challenge campaign -- "Be a star...Light up someone's Christmas."

Thanks to the generosity of readers, Lancashire Evening Telegraph staff and more than 50 companies, disadvantaged people throughout Blackburn and Darwen will be able to enjoy a brighter festive period.

However, please do not think it's too late if you haven't contributed. The Europrint Employee Community Involvement project operates from the Blackburn Partnership offices at 11, Richmond Terrace, Blackburn. We take donations all year round, trying to ease the poverty and hardship felt by so many people locally.

If you are able to help in any way, please contact us on 01254 661166. We will be delighted to discuss ways in which groups or companies can help.

WENDY L HOBSON, Europrint Employee Involvement Manager, Blackburn Partnership,

Richmond Terrace, Blackburn.
