A CHARITY is appealing for help with a mercy mission.

The Burtonwood link of the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline is planning to visit Belarus next month with materials for a new children's home.

But the group is in need of items from buckets to toys to make the place feel like a real home.

If you can help by providing cleaning materials, sports equipment, clothing and English language children's books, contact Owen McGill on 225005, Brian Jones on 230970 and Mike Hewitt on 220688 before September 27.
