A FURNITURE bank are appealing for people to donate mattresses for schoolchildren who are currently sleeping on the floor.

Stroud District and Cirencester Furniture Bank received a call earlier today from an unknown school where six of their children are sleeping on the floor without a mattress.

They therefore are in need of single mattresses to deliver early next week.

Mattresses MUST have a fire label, be 90cm by 190cm and be in a clean condition with no rips and tears.

If you are in the Cirencester or Stroud District they can collect by the weekend.

Please donate your spare single mattresses for the six pupils.

Give Stroud District and Cirencester Furniture Bank a call on 01453 367260.
