MOTHERS are being urged to donate their unwanted baby items for a fundraiser which will benefit the Review's Raise the Roof appeal.

Alison Gray, who is the wife of Reverend Brett Gray, vicar at St Michael's Church, has organised a "nearly new" sale of toys, equipment, books and games.

The fundraiser, being held on Saturday, November 14, will take place in the parish centre and St Michael's School hall.

Mrs Gray is appealing to local shops to donate prizes for a raffle which will also be held on the day.

To show your generosity you can contact the vicarage on 01727 835037.

The Raise the Roof appeal which was launched by the Review a month ago has exceeded the £9,000 mark thanks to the generosity of the community.

You can send your donations, with cheques made payable to St Michael's Church, direct to the church: The Vicarage, St Michael's Church, St Michael's Street, St Albans, AL3 4SL.
