COMMUNITIES in East Cleveland will get a helping hand with the delivery of Christmas cards this year thanks to local scouts.

Collection boxes are available until Saturday, December 16, and delivery costs just 10 pence per item. The scouts guarantee Christmas cards will be delivered in Guisborough and East Cleveland before Christmas Eve.

The 1st Guisborough Scouts have boxes in Martins Newsagents, Westgate; Somerfield supermarket, Rectory Lane and Bells Stores on Enfield Chase, Holbeck Road, The Avenue and Hutton Lane.
