A CHARITY that supports homeless people in Darlington is appealing for volunteers.
First Stop's Pledge a Night campaign aims to help street sleepers get out of the cold.
Two people died on the streets of the town when temperatures were at their lowest last year.
First Stop now aims to open at The Old Museum, in Tubwell Row, every night the temperature falls below zero between December and February.
It could mean being open 90 nights over the Christmas period and will require a lot of work for staff.
Each volunteer will be part of a small team, which includes people who are experienced in working with homeless people.
To offer help, call (01325) 254463
