VOLUNTEERS happy to spend time playing with Plasticine or colouring pictures are being sought by the Home Start Family Group in Walcot.

The group, based at Queens Drive Methodist Church hall, runs sessions on Thursdays aimed at offering parents and children support and friendship.

"For children confined in flats or hostels, the space to ride a bike or slip down the slide is wonderful," said senior organiser Jan Aylward.

"We are desperate for volunteers."

Anyone interested can call Jan on 01793 613886 for more information.
