VOLUNTEERS are needed to help a Darwen Rangers Football Club bucket collection outside Ewood Park next month.

The collection takes place on August 15 from noon to 2.50pm prior to the Blackburn Rovers v Manchester City game.

Children under 14 cannot collect. Children aged 14 to 16 can collect with an adult.

Collections will stop before the game kicks off so even if helpers have a ticket, they will still be able to see the match.

General manager Neill Caville said: “This is an opportunity for the club to really swell the coffers and will hopefully be our biggest money earner of the season, so it is really important to us.”

Anybody interested in helping is asked to email Neill on neil.caville@ sky.com.
