THE Darwen Community Furniture Project has appealed for more furniture, especially beds and wardrobes.

Bosses at the charity said it was running low on stocks but that there was a greater need than ever for donations.

Anyone wishing to donate items to the charity can arrange for them to be collected or can drop them off at the depot at Newrad Fisheries in Watery Lane.

Whitehall town councillor John East said: “We are working with housing needs at Blackburn with Darwen Council trying to eradicate destitution and poverty. The furniture project is really taking off and along with the foodbanks is in great need of help from the public.”

All donations are welcome except electrical items. Call the charity on 01254 775686.
