THE annual Christian Aid Week's house-to-house collection takes place all next week and your generous support is sought for funds to assist Third World countries in their endeavour to help themselves.

Envelopes will be collected by authorised representatives from churches throughout the Rossendale Valley. Any donation will be gratefully received.

Should you be out when one calls, you may wish to hand your envelope in to your nearest church or direct to Christian Aid.
