A LEIGH Christian fellowship is making a cold weather appeal for second hand childrens' clothes.

Living Waters Christian Fellowship, based in Scott Street, have distributed the clothes for nearly two years to needy, low income families in the area.

Organiser Debbie Hall says they now need clothes for children aged 0-15 years.

"As soon as the weather gets colder it hits people on really limited income. These clothes will help them, and their children, through the winter," said Debbie.

If you have any clothes contact Debbie on 01942-260590.
