A Leighton mum has organised a disco and raffle in aid of Bliss, the charity for babies born sick or premature.

The event will take place at The Royal British Legion’s Bossard Hall in West Street on Friday, March 10, from 7.30pm to 11.30pm.

Tickets cost £5 each and are available from Katie on 07917 165269.
