APRIL 26 - May 3 is Save the Children Week 2003. Save the Children is asking for your help and support for our fundraising efforts.

Here in Malvern for this purpose we have a street collection in Malvern tomorrow (Saturday). Please give generously, especially bearing in mind our aid in Iraq. We are already distributing blankets, fuel and children's clothes to the most vulnerable families in northern Iraq and will continue to give aid as soon as we can when the security circumstances permit in the other areas.

Donations may be sent to the treasurer, Save the Children Fund, Abbey Cottage, Kings Road, Malvern Wells, WR14 4HL.

MARGARET SLADE, vice-president, Malvern SCF, Malvern.
