HELP is at hand this week for anyone looking for work...

Lancaster's Marketgate shopping centre is holding a Job and Careers Fair aiming to help local people of all ages and ambitions.

Representatives of local firms, colleges and jobs agencies have all set up shop in one room to give out help and advice.

And they are hoping to see hundreds of people who are either unemployed or fed up and looking for a change of direction in their career path.

The Jobs Fair is open daily until Friday from 9.30am until 4.00pm, says organiser Sharon Falshaw, of the Marketgate shops centre.

Organisations represented include JobCentre Plus, Connexions, Next Step, Hayes Recruitment, Avon, Open University, Lancaster and Morecambe College, St Martin's College and Reed Employment.
