ON behalf of Save the Children, I would like to thank your staff for their assistance in arranging the advertisements in the Citizen, which highlighted our need for more volunteers to help keep our shop open in Cannon Street, Preston.

I am very pleased to say that many of your readers responded to our call for help, and the shop can now open an extra two afternoons each week.

However, we are still having to close on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, so I would love to hear from anyone who is available from 1pm to 4pm on either of those days.

If anyone can help, please call me on 451455.

Mrs Allison Thomson

Area shops manager
