SWINDONIANS are being asked to spare a few hours each month to help blind people. The Wiltshire Blind Association has issued an SOS for volunteers.

The highly rewarding work ranges from helping with store and street collections to lending a hand at larger fundraising events such as sponsored abseils and parachute jumps.

If you could spare a couple of hours to raise much-needed funds for this charity call Caroline on 01454 777674 or email her at caroline.langmaid@btinternet.com.

The Wiltshire Blind Association is the only charity dedicated to the Blind in Wiltshire.
