A Keighley group which takes young people on an annual pilgrimage to Lourdes is preparing for its next trip.

Group 58 - local branch of the Handicapped Children's Pilgrimage Trust (HCPT) - is heading to the French shrine at Easter.

A party of seven young people and 17 helpers is taking part in the pilgrimage.

This year's week-long trip is the 39th to be held by the group.

The HCPT relies on donations and its own fundraising efforts to cover the costs.

A fundraising coffee morning is being held at Our Lady of Victories School, Guard House, this Sunday, from 10am-noon. The event will include stalls and a raffle.

Any businesses or other organisations wishing to support the group are asked to contact HCPT member Pam Jessop on 01535 664999.

She would also like to hear from the parents of any young people interested in securing a place on next year's pilgrimage.
