IT’S a simple enough way to help a charity – pop a penny in a pot when you ‘spend a penny’.

And that’s exactly what parishioners of St James Parish Church in Slaithwaite are doing.

We all need to go to the toilet, it’s a daily necessity so what better way to support charity than combine it with such a task.

Parishioners hope a week of toilet trips will raise £60.

For that they will be able to buy a latrine, a communal facility, for a village in Burundi, Africa.

According to the World Health Organisation, 2.6 billion people across the world are not able to access a toilet and have to go in the open.

Such facilities will promote better sanitation, clean water and develop hygiene education.

Every penny the parishioners, and others, raise really will help make a difference to those who benefit from their kindheartedness.
