STAFF at a Bolton car dealership are hoping a chocolate appeal will brighten the lives of under-privileged children. But they need the help of Bolton Evening News readers.

Perry Motor Sales, Bridgeman Street, Bolton, want people who have given up chocolate for Lent to give it to them. All the donations staff at the Peugeot garage receive will be given to Bolton Council's social services department to distribute to children across the town.

A collection box for residents to donate their chocolate has been put up in the dealership's reception.
