Alex Jackson, who helps to run G.O.S Heating with his parents Janet and Peter, organised the party, raising £1,800 for The Space Centre, in Ashton.

Peter, managing director, said: “Our daughter, Amber, had learning difficulties and we used to go to the Space Centre. She passed away when she was 13 after an epileptic fit. From then on, every year, we do a bit of fund-raising.
“We have done it for Pear Tree School in the past, where Amber attended and then we wanted to help The Space Centre. Every year, we hold a family fun day within the company. This year was Alex’s 30th so to get more people involved we had the fun day and in the evening, Alex’s friends came.
“The fun day brings the company together, with their children and everyone has a nice time.”
