A NATIONAL Citizenship Service group of young people is helping to spruce up the foyer and garden at Partington Methodist Church.

They are holding a fair at the Warburton Lane church from 2pm to 4pm on Tuesday, August 16, to raise funds to carry out the work.

Tea, coffee and cakes will be available for all and there will be a variety of activities including raffles, bingo and games for children. Visitors can make a donation to support the group's work.

NCS (National Citizenship Service) gives young people aged 15 to 17 a four-week experience during school holidays in which they carry out a social action project to help the community.
