A CHARITY which has launched a scheme to provide free help for the over 60s who need help with everyday tasks is set to stage a fundraising concert featuring two choirs.

Thirsk, Sowerby and District Community Care said proceeds from the show with the Catterick Garrison-based Military Wives, Affiliates, Girlfriends and Servicewomen and Northallerton Male Voice choirs would help its support health and social care projects.

Its latest initiative will see volunteers performing tasks such as putting out bins, collecting prescriptions or changing a lightbulb.

The volunteers will be matched with individuals living close by who may need support and volunteers will go through the CCA’s recruitment processes before being placed.

The concert will be held at Thirsk School and Sixth-Form College on November 29, from 7.30pm.

For tickets, costing £15 for adults and £10 for under-16s, call 01845-523115 or visit Thirsk Tourist Information Centre.

If you would like to volunteer or know someone who you think may need support, call 01845-523115 or email sally.billany@tscca.org.uk
