A CHARITY which provides aid for Lithuanian orphans could be homeless if it does not find somewhere to store supplies.

The Humanitarian Aid to Lithuanian Orphans (Halo) charity is appealing for storage space for 200 boxes and as many black bin bags full of equipment which the charity is collecting.

Halo secretary Alan Brunskill said that the owner of the charity's previous accommodation had been forced to rent out the property and supplies were now being housed temporarily.

He said: "Obviously we are a charity and we would be grateful if someone was able to only charge a nominal rent.

"We are looking for somewhere that is dry and accessible for a van. Anything that is about two or three times bigger than a normal garage."

The charity is hoping to make another trip to Lithuania in May with the aid that it has collected.

It is looking for somewhere in the Bishop Auckland, Spennymoor, Crook area.

Anyone who is able to help can telephone Mr Brunskill on (01388) 458311, or 0781 3361591.
