A CHARITY is urging residents to beware of bogus fundraisers.

North West Cancer Research Fund says two male youths have recently been collecting money on behalf of the charity in the Bromley area.

The boys, aged in their mid to late teens, are calling at people's homes and asking for donations, but the charity says it is not aware of anyone officially raising money on their behalf in the area.

If you are approached and asked for a donation or sponsorship, contact the Liverpool-based charity on 0151 7092919.
