NATIONAL Lottery winners from across the North West - including Sale's Nigel and Sharon Mather - have been helping to bring a smile to the faces of homeless young people.

The winners donned their painting overalls to help transform flats at Barnardo’s Rachel House in Bury which looks after homeless young people, supporting them to lead independent lives.

The winners - worth more than £40 million combined - were joined by staff from Rachel House and volunteers from the Prince’s Trust and spent a full day painting flats and adding new fittings.
