THE International Aid Trust North Lancashire Group urgently needs gift wrapping paper to cover the shoeboxes it sends to needy children and adults all year round.

The charity sends thousands of shoeboxes filled with clothes, toiletries, stationery and sweets every year, to sick and very needy children and adults, particularly in Eastern Europe.

The teams which wraps the boxes has run out of wrapping paper, which helps to make the parcels look more attractive.

Any donations of paper would be appreciated.

Please contact Elaine French on 01524-413345 or visit the International Aid Trust charity shop at Albert Road, Morecambe.

Essential items to pack into shoeboxes are also needed, as are volunteers to pack the boxes.
