Lancashire Football clubs and their supporters have been assisting local communities on Christmas day and during the festive period.
During a year when things have been extremely difficult for many families - players, staff and supporters joined forces with local community groups to assist those most in need.
At Ewood Park Aynsley Pears and Barry Douglas lent their support to the clubโs Christmas Food Box appeal aiming to do as much they could to help the effort.
