PATIENTS have been warned a health group is under threat of closing.

Colchester ME Self Help Group needs a new chairman.

Current chairman Vivienne Mills, who has been in the role for nine years, is stepping down due to personal reasons.

But as of yet no one has come forward to take it over.

A meeting of the charity will be held at Kingsland Church, above Aldi, in London Road, Lexden, at 2pm on Saturday.

Anyone who is interesting in helping should contact Mrs Mills on 01206 530297.
