NEXT week is British Red Cross week and the Wiltshire branch of the charity is hoping lots of people will volunteer to help with its collection.

The charity does a huge amount of good work across the county but many people are under the mistaken impression that the Red Cross does all of its work abroad.

In fact, all of the money raised in Wiltshire will be spent in the county on a wide range of services.

Let's all give generously.
