NSPCC Are you interested in getting involved with a group of people raising money for the local NSPCC? Why not get involved with the new Sale group! The NSPCC offers therapeutic services to children and families in Greater Manchester who have been affected by child abuse. It is only with the support of generous members of the public that we can offer this work.

1 -2 children die each week in Britain by someone who should be caring for that child. Even if all you can do is place a collection box in your shop - that can make a huge difference to a child. Please help! To find out more about the NSPCC and the new Sale fundraising group contact Deborah Hardwick Community Appeals Manager On 0161 304 9815.
