WORKING in many countries around the world, especially those of Eastern Europe and our own over the last few years, we have been able to bring relief and Christian love to many thousands of people. Without your help this would not have been possible.

Today, we are again asking for your help. Over the summer and autumn months, 22 convoys went out to our distribution centres in Eastern Europe and now that winter is approaching, they need our help more than ever.

Non-perishable foods, clothing, medical supplies, sweets and toys are urgently needed to give children a Christmas in the former Soviet Union countries including Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Poland.

We also need volunteers in many areas, including warehousing, drivers, office staff. We hope to open a third charity shop in Chorley in the near future.

If you can help in any way please please contact us on: Tel/fax 01254 832333 or 01254 830111.
