BURY WRVS is seeking volunteers to help run its contact centre.

The facility is a haven where children of divorced or separated families can meet up with family members they do not live with.

Helpers are needed on a rota of two hours each month to assist in providing a friendly place for youngsters to meet their "absent" parent, grandparents or siblings.

Facilities at the centre, which has been running successfully for four years on a Saturday afternoon, include a play area and a tuck shop.

Anyone interested in helping out can contact local organiser Gillian Smith on 0161-764-3563 or the WRVS Manchester office on 0161-877-8565.
