The helpers were delighted to receive re-usable bags for life, donated by Northumbria Coast and Country Cottages (NCCC), as part of the company’s initiative to help cut down on single-use plastic bags.

NCCC has sales offices in Alnmouth, Northumberland Street, and Seahouses, Main Street, and the re-usable bags for life can be bought for £5 each at either office.

All proceeds from the sales will go to the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

For further details, visit the sales offices or call 01665 830783 or 720690.
