PENDLE MP Gordon Prentice will be helping out at the Open Door Furniture Recycling Scheme in Colne tomorrow as part of the Volunteers' Week Challenge to get involved in community work.

He will be helping to load and unload vans at the furniture scheme at the Sefton Works, in Knotts Lane.

Mr Prentice said: "The Volunteers' Week which runs from June 1 to 7 celebrates the wonderful work done by volunteers all over the country. I am helping out at the Open Door in Colne when I will be going out on the van to collect furniture which has been donated.

"I hope the regular volunteers go easy on me and don't expect me to lift anything too heavy."
