CLEANING ladies from a Golborne supermarket have raised hundreds of pounds for a charity dealing with desperately ill children. Cleaners from Asda in Golborne, known as the Asda Aces, raised £295 for Derian house, the hospice in Chorley for terminally ill children from around the area. The money was raised from a fun day at the supermarket. Throughout the year the cleaning ladies have been working on their own to raise money for sick children. Contract cleaning manager Val Pownall said that the Asda Aces fund-raisers had collected £1,300 during the past year from a variety of events and an extra £130 is due to be added to the coffers after a Christmas raffle. They picked the hospice as their charity for 2001 after staff visited Derian House and saw the dedication and hard work by staff to ensure love and care for children in their last days.
