Real role to put your heart into

IT seems to me that there are lots of people who, having retired or finished work, are looking for something worthwhile to fill their time and to give something back to society.

What a shame that charities like us, Heart Research UK, are struggling to find skilled volunteers. I’m sure there are people out there, who just don’t realise that these opportunities exist.

We need someone now with an accounting or finance background to help in our Leeds office for a few hours a week and help us to make a difference.  We’d love to hear from anyone who is interested.

Sound idea for patients to rest

From: Barbara Osborn, Southway, Guiseley.

I AM sorry the enjoyment of your letter writer Mr Reeves was spoilt by the sound of the Olympic opening ceremony being turned down at midnight in Millennium Square, Leeds. Perhaps if he had studied his surroundings he would have noticed that one of the buildings overlooking the square is the LGI and perhaps the patients needed to sleep!

Tongue in cheek on Tony, Jayne?

From: John Waller, Harding Close, Rawmarsh, Rotherham

HAVING read a couple of readers’ letters criticising Jayne Dowle’s article welcoming the return to politics of Tony Blair (Yorkshire Post, July 16) I wonder if I missed something, as I thought it was the most sarcastically funny article she has ever written.
