THE Samaritans group in Darlington needs a home while its base is being refurbished.

The charity has received a grant from The National Lottery's Community Fund to make the building more accessible to disabled and elderly people and install a system for Internet messaging.

The work is expected to start at the end of April and will last six months.

Robin Mair from the charity said: "We are looking for somewhere with three to four rooms on a ground floor with a bathroom."

Anyone who might be able to help the charity is asked to call (01325) 718279.
