Charity in Bury appeals for help after Henry Hoover stolen from community project

Henry the Hoover from the Roch Valley Radio studios is looking for his friend from the Attic Project.

A charity in Bury has appealed for help after a Henry Hoover used in its community work was stolen from its premises.

The Attic Project said the vacuum cleaner is believed to have been taken from inside the building while the church where it operates was open to the public.

Volunteers said they do not know exactly when the theft happened but discovered the Henry Hoover had gone missing and later shared an appeal on social media asking for information.

The charity asked anyone who may have seen the vacuum cleaner or knows where it is to contact them.

The Attic Project is a community based charitable foundation in Bury that supports people facing hardship through a range of practical and wellbeing services.

Its projects include emergency food parcels, help getting online, mental health support and practical help for people struggling with everyday challenges.

The organisation also runs activities aimed at building community connections including a community library with coffee and cake sessions, work club support and volunteering opportunities.

Volunteers said the equipment is used to keep their premises clean so services can continue for people who rely on the charity.

Anyone with information about the missing vacuum cleaner is asked to contact the charity directly.
