MEMBERS of the Al-Khair Foundation successfully raised £500 for a local mental health cause.
The East Lancashire Hospitals Trust and Me campaign received a cheque from the Bolton branch of the international foundation.
Imran Musa, regional manager for the foundation, said: "We are delighted to assist with this innovative project initiated by the hospital’s Chaplaincy department.
