VOLUNTEERS are needed to help run a coffee shop at the magistrates' court in Middlesbrough.

The shop raises funds for the Butterwick Children's Hospice and is staffed at present by former Women's Royal Voluntary Services members.

Sharon Cuthbert, volunteer manager, said: "The voluntary opportunities available at the coffee shop give people the chance to make new friends, give back to the local community and help ensure the future of an excellent cause."

Anybody interested in becoming a volunteer is asked to call (01642) 615248.
