FINGERPOST Community Group has been shortlisted in a regional competition to win a summer day out courtesy of Arriva and Merlin Entertainments.

People across the North West have been nominating worthy causes in their hundreds, with Fingerpost Community Group joining Team Oasis and People First in the final three.

The winning group will enjoy a day out to Blackpool, driven in an Arriva bus, and will visit The Blackpool Tower and SEALIFE Blackpool as a thank you for all the amazing work they do, and the incredible impact the group has on the local community.

The winning group will be announced to the public on Friday, August 3 via social media but votes can still be cast until Sunday, July 29 via arrivabus.co.uk/ctbw.

The day out will happen in August with news and updates featuring on social media, so the public can follow the fun from afar.

Lisa Pearson from Arriva North West and Wales said: “We are very excited to be at the shortlist stage for our fantastic summer day out competition.

“We have had some incredible nominations and it was very hard to whittle it down to a shortlist of three.

"Now we just need the public to go online to vote for their favourite.

"So, good luck to all! We look forward to spending the day with the winners!”
