A Rishton charity shop is appealing for people to donate more goods to sell.

Kathleen Ramsden, 72, who runs the shop single-handedly, said she desperately needs furniture, household goods, clothes and bric-a-brac for her store in High Street.

She said that without more donations her shop may be forced to close.

The money she raises goes to help children and adults with leprosy and AIDS.

Kathleen, of Victoria Street, Clayton-le-Moors, said: "I am trying to help them but the problem is people tend to give things to the big charities, so I desperately need small items of furniture, bric-a-brac, clothes - whatever people can spare. I will pick things up.

"It is an uphill struggle, but it is a lovely shop, I run it myself voluntarily - it gets me out the house and keeps me occupied!"

Last year she raised more than £1,000 for charity.

Anyone who would like to donate goods can contact Kathleen on 01254 239246.
