STAFF at the South Woodford branch of Oxfam have launched an appeal to the people of Wanstead and Woodford asking for help with their charity work.
The shop, on South Woodford High Road, desperately needs new volunteers and donations.
Despite the branch receiving a boost after four paintings that were handed in to the shop selling at auction for a whopping £1,300, trade has been affected by roadworks in the area, along with the recession.
Call 8505 7771 for more information about how to help.
