HEALS of Malmesbury have launched their annual appeal and urging people to get involved.

Now in its third year, HEALS hope to raise funds to help the homeless and vulnerable in the community.

Alison Cross-Jones, general manager of HEALS, said: “Anyone can find themselves homeless and illness strikes when you least expect it.

“At these times all that is needed is to know people care. This appeal is your opportunity to show you care and that you have a heart.”

The appeal runs until February 29. For more information, including how to donate, visit localgiving.com/appeal/givetoshowappeal2016 or call 01666 238100.
