A CHARITY which provides opportunities for people with learning disabilities is appealing for donations of gardening tools.

Chopsticks is holding a coffee morning and sale in Northallerton Town Hall from 9.30am to noon on Wednesday, March 28.

Fundraiser Christopher Marlowe said: "If anyone who no longer has a garden has hung up their forks, trowels and watering cans, Chopsticks would be very grateful for these and other gardening tools to sell on the day."

Donations can be made at the Chopsticks shop at 64 High Street, Northallerton. Alternatively, collection can be arranged by telephoning Mr Marlowe on 01609-761661
