A CLEAROUT of unwanted clothes and shoes has helped air medics.

Members of Eden Valley YFC have clubbed together and organised a doorstep collection for any unwanted clothes and shoes for The Great North Air Ambulance. More than 50 bags were donated to help raise funds for this valuable service.

A plea has gone out to Cumbria’s young farmers to renew their membership.

The movement needs members to secure funding to ensure that Cumbria YFC survives.

Organisers have posted a link for the membership form on Cumbria YFC Facebook page, with the reminder that the under-18s will also need a completed parental consent form.

Completed forms should be sent back to the following email address: countyoffice@cumbriayfc.co.uk.
