A TEAM of Bolton-based professionals has raised £1,700 for Chorley's Derian House Children's Hospice.

The team, known as The Ladyboys Golf Society, consists of solicitors, accountants, bankers and finance professionals from across Bolton.

Formed as a networking society in 2002, there are now more than 40 members who meet twice a year at golf courses throughout the county.

The hospice provides specialist care for children who may not reach adulthood, and support for families.
