SHOPPERS are being asked to help choose a good cause to receive thousands of pounds of money.
Every year, The Bridges Shopping Centre, in Sunderland, chooses a charity to support, and recently gave £5,500 to the Anthony Nolan Trust.
The centre has produced a shortlist of four charities, from which visitors will be asked to select one to receive money raised during the coming year.
They are: Tyne and Wear Kaleidoscope, which supports children who have suffered trauma and have gone on to sexually harm others; the Sunderland branch of Autism In Mind; Hearing Dogs For Deaf People; and the Grace House Appeal, which aims to build a children's hospice in Sunderland.
Shoppers are asked to complete a voting form and place it in a ballot box at the centre before Saturday, March 12.
