AN appeal has been made for prizes for a charity Easter bingo.

The Mayor of Halton Cllr Ellen Cargill is organising the event to raise funds for her three charities.

They include Victoria Music, the HCPT Pilgrimage Trust and The Fellowship Centre, Widnes.

Any items that could be used for prizes such as Easter eggs, chocolates, biscuits, sweets or unwanted gifts would be appreciated.

Cllr Cargill said: "Let's make this event a 'full house' and raise lots of cash for some very worthy causes."

The Easter bingo will be held at 7pm on Friday, March 11 at the Select Stadium, Widnes.

Donated items can be dropped off at either the Municipal Building for the attention of Kay Sparks or at Runcorn Town Hall for the attention of John Whittaker.

Tickets priced 50p, which includes free raffle ticket, will be available on the door.
