A GALLERY which raises funds for people with additional needs is the latest venture to open its doors on Bridge Street.

The Best of Northern Art was officially opened last week by the Mayor of Warrington Cllr Ted Finnegan and his wife Mavis.

The gallery, which can be located opposite McDonalds, showcases some of the best northern artists around.

It also provides a space for people involved with the charity, MacIntyre, to display and sell their art work.

The gallery had been previously located on Bank Street but its owners hope the move will attract more people to its door to celebrate the talent and hard work of artists in the area.

A total of 15 per cent of sales will be donated to MacIntyre, which was launched to support children, young people and adults who have a learning disability or autism to live their life their way.
