Kaye, of Leyland, said: “The people of Leyland have been deeply affected by the atrocities in Manchester, not to mention the devastating consequences for Georgina Callander and Saffie Roussos’ families.
“We want both families to feel like they still have the support of their communities. Saffie’s family own The Plaice Fish and Chips in Leyland and Georgina went to Runshaw College.
“Their families are going though such a hard time, so we wanted to help.

“The hotel has kindly offered to provide unlimited tea and coffee throughout the event, however the bar will also be open. Stalls running chocolate and bottle tombolas will be pitched next to cake stands, competitions and an auction for a signed PNE shirt and guess the weight of the cake to win.
“Any more suggestions or donations are greatly appreciated.
“This would be an opportunity to let the families know they are still in our thoughts, prayers and hearts.”
