CORONATION Street star Mollie Winnard and Gogglebox's Julie and Vanessa Malone joined Bolton's own well-known faces for a special charity luncheon.

The charity luncheon was in aid of Backup North West, which helps young people at risk of homelessness and those already without a roof over their head.

The function was as The Last Drop Hotel and guests included the Mayor of Bolton Cllr Linda Thomas.

Maura Jackson, CEO of Backup North West, said: "Aside from the money raised on the day which is well over £6,000 we also signed up four new Guardians for the charity at £500 a year each including Marie Walsh from Ye Olde Pastie shoppe.

"This money goes specifically towards things for young people who are homeless including essentials like food, clothing and ID.

"There were stalls for shopping, raffles and games and entertainment all afternoon and the winner of the wheelbarrow full of booze was Suzy Orr. "

Every money raised from the luncheon went to supporting young people and not towards running costs of the charity.

So far in the first 6 months of this year the services have already supported and housed 144 young people in Bolton and successfully moved on 102 of those.

Maura added, “The Ladies Lunch is always great fun, wonderful atmosphere and a chance to make a difference to the towns Most vulnerable citizens.”

One of the young residents on the scheme was a gorgeous model at the fashion show delivered by Button Boutique.
