1. A hush-marathon by a bunch of schoolkids will help to boost the long fight against a killer disease. For around 300 children at Greenlands Primary School, Ribbleton, Preston, raised more than £1,300 for the fight against leukaemia, by holding a sponsored silence. And to put a smile on everyone's face when the cheque was handed over was comedian Les Dennis, who is starring in Blackpool. He is pictured holding the cheque which he received on behalf of the Manchester Children's Hospital Bone Marrow Transplant fund

2. Pram pushing pub regulars made a four-mile round trip for the Mayor of Blackpool's sea disaster fund. About 20 pairs from the Sumner's Hotel, Fulwood, Preston, formed a colourful procession over the course. On the way round pub collections raised over £300 and the final tally is expected to be more than £600. One pair were so far behind at one point that they hitched a free bus ride to help them along the way!
