Funeral home marks 30 years in business with South Ribble version of Race Across The World

A South Ribble undertaker is celebrating 30 years in business with a special charity ‘Race Across the World’.

Neal Buckley, who has funeral parlours across South Ribble, Preston and West Lancashire, wants to give back to the community to mark the milestone, and came up with the idea of a charity hunt to raise money for Penwortham-based blind society, Galloways.

When is it?

Taking place on Saturday, July 4, teams will set off on foot to find clues hidden across Longton, Hutton and Penwortham, to be in with a chance of winning one of four prizes.

They include a week's stay at a villa in Spain (flights not included), a weekend stay at a lodge in the Lake District, a chauffeur drive to Romano’s in Longton with a £50 voucher towards your meal and two corporate tickets to a PNE game.

There are even more prizes in the raffle, available at £5 per strip.

Neal, who has also been used as a prop in Coronation Street and Harlan Corben dramas, said: “It’s a bit of fun, if you want to get involved, you can register on our website and Facebook...Get involved and lets raise as much money as we can.

“Hopefully I’ll still be here in another 30 years and we’ll think of something else we can do.”

Entry is £25 cash at the start line. To take part, visit: https://forms.office.com/e/rw82jmceAM
