A CHARITY in Darlington which provides older people with companionship and services is looking for volunteers.

After an organisational restructure, Darlington Town Mission is looking for trustees who are able to give about three or four hours a month.

The group is also looking for someone to play an important role in the continuation and development of the services, after missioner Doug Dickson decided to leave for family reasons.

The charity has a permanent office at Grange Road Baptist Church.

It has also announced outings to Bondgate Church for tea and to Polam Hall School for a sunshine party, as well as a bus trip to Redcar and Kirkleatham in June, and a trip to Hamsterley Forest, in July.

Anyone interested can contact chairman Granville Gibson on (01325) 462526 or the Darlington Town Mission office on (01325) 467052.
