CHILDREN’s charity Shine is calling for help from tradesmen, businesses and residents with DIY and gardening skills.

Workers at Shine (formerly known as Contact) are calling out for support from the community to help give their premises a much needed makeover.

Shine runs short breaks throughout the year offering expert care and well planned sessions for local children with additional needs or disabilities as well as free family support for a wide range of issues.

If anyone can spare time or resources, phone Shine on 01493 661000.
