Maureen Hatton saddled up to raise £550 for Hospice Care for Burnley and Pendle.

Maureen, who runs Roodlebats Stables, off Brunswick Street, Nelson, organised a sponsored ten-mile horse ride and a concert.

The concert at the Carlton Working Men's Club, Nelson, on January 21 included local acts J T Lee, Dorian and Terry Tyrell.

Money raised through admission and a raffle was added to that from the ride, which took place between Christmas and New Year.

"We are extremely grateful to Maureen for all her hard work," said Kaye Bartle, fund-raising assistant at the hospice.
