A Manorlands support group is well on the way to raising its £5,000 target for this year.

Cross Hills Manorlands Support Group has raised £3,500 for the Oxenhope hospice during 2009.

The group will host a performance by Airedale Male Voice Choir on December 5 at 7.30pm in South Craven Baptist Church in Sutton.

Tickets cost £7, including light refreshments raffle, from Forget Me Not, Main Street, Cross Hills, or by phoning choirmaster John Smith on 01535 653110.

The support group will also run a pound stall at Bolton Abbey on November 28.

A group spokesman said: "To be able to raise £5,000 for this very worthwhile cause would be fantastic and a true reflection of the support we have come to value."

The support group has raised more than £30,000 since it was established in 2003.
