BLACKBURN College students were on a fund-raising mission at their annual enrolment.

As they signed up for their courses, the students raised £540 for the Christie's Against Cancer appeal.

The cash was raised when each donated their £5 college fee to the cancer-fighting good cause. And to make sure the day got off to a flying start, organisers of the event sent up some entertainment for the fund-raisers with bouncy castles, clowns, performers and the borough's band.
