A GROUP that offers support and help for homeless people in the Darlington borough is appealing for more volunteers.

The Darlington Housing Action Group is seeking to improve the front-line services it offers.

Local charities, including Night Stop, the 700 Club and First Stop, all operate under the housing action group's umbrella.

The group is looking for people to act as treasurers and secretaries, and in other volunteer capacities, to boost their work.

Anyone interested in supporting the Darlington Housing Action Group's work is asked to contact Dr John Ellison, group chairman, on (01325) 465015.
