A FAMILY fun day is being held at Neston Civic Hall this week to raise money for the local branch of the National Childbirth Trust.

The organisation, which trains volunteers to counsel new mothers, is staging the event at 2pm this Sunday and hopes to raise enough money to begin expanding its service in local hospitals.

Attractions will include bouncy castles, a raffle and food stalls, and admission is £2 per family. The trust also runs a voluntary emergency helpline for new mothers on 336 8608.
