A national charity are urging people in north Norfolk to volunteer to raise funds for people in crisis in the county.

The British Red Cross have asked residents for their help collecting donations at Tesco.

The charity needs people to do one or two hour shifts as bucket collectors in May.

The money will be spent on first aid, wheelchairs, helping the elderly and emergency response services in Norfolk.

The collections are at Tesco in Stalham on Sunday, May 5; Fakenham on Thursday, May 9; Hunstanton on Wednesday, May 8; Aylsham on Friday, May 10; and Sheringham on Saturday, May 25.

Paul Fleet, from the Red Cross, said: 'The people of north Norfolk are always so friendly and generous. The more volunteers we have, the more we can raise, so any support would be appreciated.

'The British Red Cross is very well known for being an international charity but we do many things in Norfolk.'
