Holiday charity issues call for warm coats and wellies

A CHARITY that offers holidays for those most in need has launched an appeal for donations of wellington boots and warm coats.

As Mellor Country House throws open its doors for the new season, it is keen to kit out their guests so they can enjoy the countryside, many for the first time.

It hosts some 650 people a year and up to half are children.

Anyone on low income and in desperate need of a break who would otherwise not be able to afford one, is welcome to book in.

Donations can be dropped at the house, at 299 Longhurst Lane.
