A firm called Children's Support Society (CSS) has been dropping leaflets in the town asking people to donate unwanted clothing, bedding, curtains, paired shoes, toys, handbags and belts.

Bur Trading Standards officers are urging people to be wary because the charity number quoted on the flyer is a registered charity with no affiliation to CSS.
