Newent Fair Shares office, in the mews at the George Hotel, Church Street, has changed its opening day from Thursday to all day every Wednesday.

The organisation works through volunteers and is a way for people to both give and receive help in the community.

Fair Shares spokesman Margaret Griffiths said everyone is a giver and receiver of help: "You earn one fair share for every hour that you spend helping someone else and deposit your fair shares in a time bank."
