I AM writing to appeal to your readers for volunteers to help raise funds for the British Red Cross Week at fundraising collections in the Wirral area.

We have been kindly allocated collections at Tesco Extra Bidston Moss on April 24, Tranmere Rovers FC match on April 30, Aldi Birkenhead on May 13 and May 14 and street collections in Heswall, Birkenhead, Bebington and Wallasey on May 28.

We are looking for local people to give just two hours of their time to join our fundraisers to raise vital funds for the Red Cross.

Just two hours of your time can help save the life of someone vulnerable in crisis right here in Wirral or across the world.

The Red Cross is a volunteer-led humanitarian organisation that helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are.

If supporters can help at this collection, fundraising materials will be provided and we would be very grateful for any support you can offer us.

Please call me on 07718 244 547 or you can email kthreadgill@redcross.org.uk if you can help in any way.

Kerry Threadgill, Senior community fundraiser, British Red Cross
