The YMCA depend on donations so they were delighted to receive the large collection of bedding pictured above at their Old Glasshouse offices in Wells.

"We are very blessed that local people and organisations like the WIs donate the things to us," said Mendip YMCA manager Carol Plenty.

"Clean bedding is needed for people moving into a flat without some of the essentials. Things that the rest of us take for granted.

"At the moment we need kitchen utensils like saucepans, cutlery, casserole dishes and crockery.

"I am always happy to collect them. Just ring me on 07506 418134 or email CarolPlenty@ymca-bg-org."

Carol helps people in need find accommodation in rental property and works with landlords who are supportive of YMCA's aims.

The charity's mission is to create supportive, inclusive and energising communities where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.

Carol is also a volunteer with the Wells Community Network.
