CAN anyone spare a few hours to help the British Heart Foundation with its Big Red Fightback' during Heart Week from June 5 to 13.

BHF wants to carry out collections while selling its ribbon emblem in locations such as shopping centres and stores but we need both people who can organise and co-ordinate a collection and people who can help with the actual collecting.

This is a chance to make a real difference to the thousands of people whose lives are devastated by heart and circulatory disease, the UK's biggest killer. To find out more, call 01254-878321.

Carole McCartney, area organiser.
