Charity/voluntary

Shop volunteers are needed for St Luke's Hospice shops in Pinner, Harrow, Harrow Weald and Stanmore.

Volunteers commit to one shift per week. The charity has an urgent need for volunteers to cover the afternoon shift from 1.15-5pm.

Usually powered by two jet engines a Boeing 757 can reach speeds of more than 600 miles per hour.

But on Saturday next week (07) the 60-tonne aircraft is going to have to settle for a little less force and a lot less speed.

Because the 60m long freight will be dragged by just 30 wheelchair users, who are taking to the runway in a charity record attempt.
