Local blind and visually impaired children visited Blackpool Illuminations on Friday for a special verbal and tactile guided tour of the famous lights.
The visit was made possible with help from a £210 boost to the Visually Impaired Children's Society.
Cllr Gareth Molineux, Hyndburn Council's Disabled Persons Champion, presented the charity with a cheque for £210, along with County Councillor Carolyn Evans.
Cllr Molineux, who accompanied the children on the visit said; "I was honoured to be invited along on the trip and we all had an amazing time."
Jane Dawson who runs the society said; "The children had a wonderful time, starting with a fish and chips supper followed by a special verbal and tactile guided tour of the illuminations and a horse and carriage ride. We are really grateful for the donation which helped fund the trip."
The Visually Impaired Children's Society. (VICS) meets every fortnight, for more information call Jane Dawson on 07790936208.
