A CHARITY fundraiser will be taking place to raise money for a stroke sufferer.

Elizabeth Schinkel, from Burnley, has organised the evening at the Bombay Lounge in Barrowford on Friday.

It will be to raise money for Heather Kent, who lives in Clitheroe, suffered a stroke in November last year aged 34.

Money will be used to help get her an electric wheelchair and other mobility aids.

The event is starting at 7.30pm with a set meal and entertainment for just £15.

Mrs Schinkel, 36, said: "I just wanted to do anything I could to help. Heather's a similar age to me and it’s turned their lives upside down, I just want to raise awareness.”

Tickets are available from Bombay Lounge on 01282 616006 or from bethschinkel@hotmail.com.
