A group of Preston youngsters are organising an event to raise funds for a defibrillator and bleed kit.

There will be a bouncy castle, pillow bashing, Bollywood dancing, DJ slots and live performances.

Local organisations in attendance will include The Mandala Centre, Nuffield Health, Preston North End and Let’s Grow Preston.

A spokesperson for the event said: “The day is focused on having fun but also to raise money for defibrillator and a bleed kit for the community.
