A CHARITY is appealing for volunteers to help out with a fund raising weekend.
Diabetes UK is planning a Big Collection weekend at Tesco stores across the country from October 4 to 6.
The charity still needs to recruit team leaders to co-ordinate the collections at stores in Langley Moor, Annfield Plain and Newton Aycliffe.
Linda Wood, Diabetes UK regional manager for the Northern and Yorkshire area, said: "The Big Collection weekend in Tesco stores is a great way to inform customers about diabetes while raising money for Diabetes UK.
"But it is only possible with the support of people who give up their time - they will be making a real difference to people with diabetes or those at risk of developing it."
Anyone interested in further information should visit www.diabetes.org.uk/tesco-collection-weekend or call 01325 488606.
