A CRAFT and gift fair in aid of Derian House, the children's hospice, opens at Leigh Library tomorrow to help boost the £980,000 funds needed to keep the doors open each year.

The Chorley-based haven cares for more than 350 local families a year with respite and home care.

The event will be open between 9.30am and 3.30pm and admission is free.

The annual gala weekend in the hospice grounds takes place over the weekend of June 23-24.
