Proceeds will go towards helping youngsters with mental health problems, and hopefully tidying up The Towers woodlands in Thornton, where the former Hodgson Academy pupil took his own life last summer, his mum Joanne said this morning.

They can be bought from the school, in Moorland Road, Poulton, or from the YMCA health and fitness centres in Breck Road, Poulton, Victoria Road East, Thornton, and the Esplanade in Fleetwood, she added.
