A VOLUNTARY group that helps addicts in recovery is asking for donations of unwanted instruments for its new music group.

Bsurf (Bolton service user recovery forum) aims to launch the group in the new year after a suggestion from its members.

A spokesman for the group said: "We are hoping that anybody who is looking to get new instruments for Christmas will help us out by donating their old equipment."

Donors can drop items off at Beacon House, in Manchester Road, on Friday between 10am and 1pm or on Saturday between 6.30pm and 9pm. Alternatively call 01204 557 977 to arrange.
