BLEAKHOLT Animal Sanctuary in Edenfield is in need of volunteers to help out in the cafe and shop on weekends and in the charity shop in Ramsbottom, which is open every day between 10am and 4pm.

A spokeswoman for the centre in Bury Old Road said: “If you feel you can help by donating a little of your time, Bleakholt would love to hear from you and help them support the abandoned dogs, cats, small animals, ponies, goat, pigs, and more, they have at the sanctuary.”
