HOMESTART Pendle and Ribble Valley is looking for new volunteers.

Volunteers offer support, friendship and practical help to families with children under 12, whose parents may be finding it hard to cope.

A new volunteer preparation course will start in February, and all volunteers will be provided with free accredited training and support. For details, call Heather on 01282 690 536 or email heather@homestart pendle.plus.com.
