DUDLEY Rotary Club has handed the keys to a £10,000 van over to staff at a Kingswinford charity shop.

The generous donation means that the team at the Dudley Kidney Patients Association's charity shop can now collect and deliver furniture and other large items to and from its High Street base.

Chris Taylor, chairman of the association said the van has added another dimension to the shop's customer service.

She added: "It has made a huge difference to the shop as we can now collect larger items of furniture which will hopefully help us raise more money for Dudley Kidney Patients Association.

"We are very grateful to the rotary club for their help and generosity."

Rotary club president Ray Glazzard, who wished to thank Amlin Motors in Halesowen for supplying the van, said he hoped the vehicle would give the charity "greater opportunities in expanding their business".
