ON behalf of WRVS I am writing to thank your readers for the fantastic response to the appeal for volunteers to help at Blackburn Royal Infirmary.

There are still some opportunities in the WRVS tea bar and with the ward confectionery trolley.

If any reader can spare approximately four hours once a week and would like to be part of our team of men and women that really makes a difference in the local community, they should contact 0845 601 4670, calls are charged at local rate. All expenses are paid.

KAREN MOLYNEUX, Regional Volunteering Manager, WRVS.
