SIR - The 2nd Bideford Scouth Group wants your help. Sainsbury's Active Kids vouchers are being collected by our group of Cubs, Beavers and Scouts aged from six to 18 who meet each week in Bideford.

This year, the group is collecting the vouchers hopefully to purchase new equipment for the group. As a registered charity, we rely on the support of parents and helpers, but that limits the number of people we can ask.

Do not throw away your unwanted vouchers. We would be most grateful for anyone to donate them to us and we will make sure they are put to good use.

Vouchers can be deposited by hand or post to our HQ in Silver Street, Bideford, or at the Spar Shop, Blights Motors, Clovelly Road, Bideford.

Each year, we work hard in involving the children in a balanced programme of activities that are relevant to today's society, including camping, arts and crafts, environmental and community projects.

This year, our group celebrates its 60th anniversary and has for the first time in its history 100 Cubs, Beavers and Scouts actively involved each week in the group.

Any vouchers received will be of great benefit to us and will be put to good use helping to purchase new equipment for the weekly activities.

Tim Blight,

Assistant Scout Leader,

Bideford.
