BUDDING businesses in East Lancashire have been given a boost from Boots.

For the fifth year running, the store has donated £1,000 to help the Blackburn & District Enterprise Trust with its work with firms in the area.

Preparations are under way for the trust's third exhibition promoting local businesses.

The event, which follows last year's Blackburn Means Business event, will be held at the International Suite at Ewood Park on March 26.
