TWO women are trying to launch a support and social group for widows and widowers living in Bury.

And if the organisation is launched, then it could provide regular meetings, outings and other activities for many people who perhaps suffer from loneliness.

In the first instance, the organisers are anxious to secure a cheap meeting room which can be used as a base. The location, they say, would have to be fairly central.

Anyone who can provide accommodation which could be used once a fortnight should contact Vera on 761 3227 or 761 7822.
