A north Cumbrian organisation has issued an appeal for donations for families.

Carlisle Refugee Action Group is asking people to donate a number of different items for families that are new to the city.

They're looking for things such as beds, lamps, drawers, kitchenware and other household items.

Generally, they are also always in need of clothing for both men and women, particularly small to medium warm clothes.

Any items can be dropped off in the donations box to the rear of Carlisle Enterprise Centre, CA2 5BB, on the left of the loading bay.

Alternatively, Carlisle Refugee Action Group are able to collect any donations which can be requested by contacting the group via email on info@crag.uk.com.
