AN INIATIATIVE launched to help support rough sleepers during the Christmas period is looking for help.
Warrington Open Door At Christmas, which is held at St John's Church on Wilderspool Causeway, has launched an appeal for more volunteers to help vulnerable people in the community.
WODAC, which is open from December 25 to January 1 from 9.30 to 3.30 with lunch served at 12.30pm, was started in 1991 by John Campbell due to concerns over the rise in homelessness and isolation in town.
He also identified that many support agencies are not available over Christmas.
The service provides tea and toast and a three course meal each day as well as offering out clothing to those in need.
This year, guest will be able to benefit from a chiropodist and a hairdresser.
All guests and volunteers must be 18 years or over.
If transport is needed over the Christmas period call WODAC on 444914.
To volunteer visit wodac.org.uk.
