VOLUNTEERS are needed to lead a walking bus of children to school in West End.

The project is an Eastleigh Borough Council initiative to get children walking to school, in safety, instead of going by car.

The scheme has three walking routes to school, between four and 15 minutes' walk, and children are collected from home en route and join in the walking bus.

Volunteers will be checked through the Criminal Record Bureau.

Anyone who would like to help should call Eastleigh and District Volunteer Bureau on 023 8090 2400.
