A CHARITY fair in aid of Leprosy Village will be held at Colwall Village Hall tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am until 4pm.

The Children's Society raised the magnificent sum of £390 in collection boxes in Colwall. This helps the society to continue their work with children and young people in need.

From November 1 the Colwall office of John Goodwins will host a satellite of the Ledbury Volunteer Bureau which is based at Salter's Yard, Bye Street, Ledbury. The aim of the satellite is to match potential volunteers, who live locally, to the charities and groups that need help in the village and surrounding area.

For both volunteers and groups further assistance is always available from the Ledbury Development Officer, Rosemary, Tel: 01531 635339 Mon-Thurs 10am-4pm.

David Fox will be visiting the Maggs Centre for the homeless at the end of the month. Items requested are socks, scarves, woolly hats (in fairly sober colours), old blankets and sleeping bags, disposable razors. If anyone has any of these items, please leave them at the back of St James' Church or take them to 1 Railway Terrace.
