MEMBERS of Bolton Pentecostal Church fear bogus charity workers are using their name to con kindhearted residents out of hundreds of pounds.

Youths pretending to be members of the congregation have been knocking on doors in Breightmet and Lostock saying they are raising money for Cancer Research.

A spokesman for the Bury New Road church said: "We never raise money by knocking on people's doors and are very concerned that this is happening in our name." Anyone with information should contact Crimestoppers on free phone 0800-555111.
