HOSPICE Care for Burnley and Pendle is counting on support from local residents for its latest fundraising initiative.

They are planning a charity trip to the Leeds Television Studios to see Channel Four's Countdown show recorded live.

The hospice trip gives people the chance to be part of an exclusive Pendleside Hospice audience for the filming of two Countdown programmes.

All proceeds from the trip will go to Hospice Care for Burnley and Pendle and includes convenient local coach pick up points throughout East Lancashire.

It takes place on Thursday, June 17, and tickets are £15 each.
