A FUNDRAISING drive has been launched to send a group of physically disabled friends on a three-day break.

Members of Bishop Auckland Friendship and Activity Club have nominated Blackpool as their chosen holiday spot, but it will cost £3,300 to send nine people, aged between 19 and 50, and six carers on the trip.

To boost funds, people from the club will be selling raffle tickets at the Asda store in Bishop Auckland's Newgate Centre, tomorrow, and at Morrison's in the town on April 2.
