A CHARITY that helps vulnerable youngsters is seeking volunteers to help run two of its shops.
The Children's Society is on the look-out for helpers to work at its charity shops in Middle Street, Consett, and Mautland Square, Houghton-le-Spring.
Area retail manager Sarah Sharpe said: "This year is the International Year of Volunteers, which is a celebration of volunteers around the world.
"We want to be part of that celebration and invite more people to get involved down here in our shops.
"The society's shops fund our vital work with some of the country's most vulnerable children, and we just could not do it without our wonderful volunteers."
Volunteers' tasks include preparing donated stock, ironing, steaming and sorting through clothes.
Anyone interested in helping can contact Sarah Sharpe, on Freephone 0800 9808524.
