The British Red Cross is calling on people to clear out their wardrobes to help people affected by Typhoon Haiyan.

Books, clothing and household items can be converted into cash to help the millions in dire need.

People can drop off goods at a Red Cross shop, saying they would like them to be sold for the Typhoon Haiyan Appeal. Donations will be labelled for shoppers to see.

Red Cross fundraiser for Wiltshire Emily Barker said: “By simply donating a bag of unwanted clothes and household items you can make a real difference to the millions of people affected.” Items can be donated to the charity’s stores in Trowbridge and Warminster.

Meawhile, the Trowbridge branch of Save the Children raised more than £600 for the Philippines relief appeal on Saturday at the Hope Nature Centre restaurant in Southwick.

A two-course meal was prepared, with entertainment from Ray Dance and Judith Sharp.
