The bookshop is another venture for the charity designed to help raise funds.

Having opened the bookshop with the Mayor of Chorley Lindsay took the opportunity to look at the books on display and was impressed by the wide variety of reading material.

"It is important that they continue to raise funds all year round and the bookshop will help them achieve this.

“People who are blind or visually impaired can turn to Galloways for help and I know a number of residents in Chorley who have benefited from the support provided by Galloways.
