A COMMUNITY association is appealing for help in staging its second fun day.

Witton Gilbert Community Association, in Witton Gilbert, near Durham, is looking for raffle prizes and bands, dance groups and entertainers who would like to perform at the event in the village on Saturday, July 25.

A children’s fancy dress fun run will take place with prizes for the fastest and funniest entrant and the one who is judged to have put most effort into their costume.

Children from local schools of all ages are invited to participate.

Sponsorship money raised will be divided between the winning child’s school or community group and the community association.

Proceeds from the fun day will go towards a £30,000 project to transform a neglected garden into a wildlife sanctuary.

For more information, to offer to help or to register for the fun run and get a sponsorship pack, call Julie Myers on 07850-151-787.
