THE Lord Mayor of Bradford will help mark a charity’s 40th anniversary this month at a celebration party.

Councillor Mike Gibbons has been invited to the event at Hollins Hall Hotel in Baildon to mark Bradford Toy Library’s milestone.

The charity, based at St Luke’s Hospital in Little Horton Lane, loans specialist toys and play equipment to the families of more than 400 children with special needs across the district.

The event is on Friday, January 23, for families the charity has worked with, paediatricians, therapists and other charities.
