A TEAM of staff from Bolton School will be taking part in this year's Midnight Memories Walk.

The 13 colleagues are based at Beech House, the school's infant department, and will be led by head Tracey Taylor.

The walk is one of Bolton Hospice's biggest fundraising drives and will take place on Saturday, June 18.

Actress Maxine Peake will officially start the tenth anniversary walk.

It will be the second year that Maxine, who recently starred in a BBC adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, has been involved with the event.

She has a close association with the hospice, based off Chorley Old Road, as her mother Glenys died there in 2008, aged 66, after suffering from pancreatic cancer. She also serves as a vice president of the hospice.
