WHALLEY'S recently-formed Chamber of Trade has given £200 to the SuperScan Appeal.

The chamber was formed only two years ago after businesses left the Clitheroe and district chamber to form their own.

Now the Whalley branch has 58 members and is working hard to raise cash for charities.

The Ribble Valley branch of the SuperScan appeal was presented with the cheque at the chamber's annual dinner at the Foxfield's Hotel, Billington.

Chairman Joyce Holgate said: "The money was raised through various functions.

"We believe that, as the donations and prizes are all given by local people, local charities should benefit."
