MORE books are needed to meet the demand of book fairs in Colchester in aid of the Samaritans.

Monthly book fairs are held with £11,000 having been raised since they began in 2011.

All proceeds go to meet the running costs of Colchester Samaritans, but now more books are needed.

The next book fair is on Saturday at Walsingham Road Community Hall, Colchester, from 10am to 2pm.

To arrange to donate books, email book-fair@colchestersamaritans.org or call 07841479612.
