BOLTON residents are being urged to join the stars for an event that puts the fun into fundraising.

The Rhode Island Coffee Shop in Bolton Market will be holding a fancy dress charity day on Thursday, November 1.

Anyone buying a cafe latte will see 50 per cent of the money donated to the NSPCC. Staff at the shop will also be taking part in other fundraising events. Judith Hayes, community appeals manager for the NSPCC in Bolton, said: "We would like as many people as possible to support this event. I am also looking for volunteer helpers in Bolton, so if anyone can spare some time please give me a call." You can contact Judith at the NSPCC office on 01254 776320.
