VOLUNTEERS are needed to help organise a new summer play scheme for youngsters in Radcliffe.

The project will run for three weeks during the long holidays, and is open to youngsters aged from five to 11.

A voluntary management group needs to be recruited to oversee the scheme and employ the necessary staff. It may only require a couple of hours work per month.

Ros Glover, Radcliffe area co-ordinator, said: "We are looking for individuals with enthusiasm and commitment, plus at least one person who has financial management skills to act as treasurer."

Anyone who can help should contact Karen Blackledge, Bury Council's early years out of school development worker, on 253 6977.
