A REALITY TV star has given one of her favourite charities in the town a boost after offering to volunteer at the cause's cafe.

Former Big Brother contestant Lisa Appleton will be helping to run the cafe at the Shannon Bradshaw Community Centre in Penketh to help raise valuable cash for the children's charity.

She added: "I've been a patron for seven years and it's a wonderful charity run by very dedicated people.

"I thought they really deserved some support so I'm going to be in the cafe making cups of tea and coffee and helping out with food orders including the full English breakfast that everyone loves here.

"They're really grateful for the extra help and I just thought it would be nice to do something for them."

Lisa will also be cycling the Trans Pennine Trail from Warrington to Liverpool and back this summer.
