BAND, the Bolton Association and Network of Drop-ins which recently moved to new premises in St George's Road, is in need of help.

They are looking for caring people with time to spare, common sense and good humour to help at drop-in centres.

BAND was formed to bring together six local community drop in centres to streamline administration and resources.

Volunteers are needed to help with a whole range of tasks, such as making the brews, driving a minibus, preparing lunches, shopping, cleaning, and washing up.

Anyone who wants to know more should contact Andy Hazeldine at 68 St George's Road, or on 01204 521673.
