Campaigners battling to save a centre that helps women survive mental trauma have taken delivery of a parcel from 10 Downing Street.

Cherie Blair has sent the Isis Centre in Shipley one of her silk scarves and a white laced baby grow belonging to her young son Leo.

Breakfast TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has already backed the campaign by donating a glamourous outfit and the centre's supporters are now hoping other celebrities will follow suit.

The fight for survival was boosted in May by a fun run and walk in Lister Park which will raise £8,000 and the centre now has enough money to see it through the rest of 2004.

But it has to keep up its struggle for survival to see it into 2005. It has already had to cut back its opening days from five to three a week after a National Lottery grant ran out.

Theresa Keach said: "Thanks to the support we've had, we look safe for the rest of this year but we have to keep up the fight to get more funds so that we can be confident we have a future."

The Isis project, a registered charity which costs £25,000 a year to run, has three staff to run a creche and offer counselling and various therapies from reiki to reflexology.

Between April 2002 and March 2003 the project dealt with 377 referrals of which 151 came from GPs and health visitors. Women who use the centre have experienced trauma ranging from domestic violence to sex abuse, eating disorders, schizophrenia and post-natal depression.

The celebrity gifts will go under the hammer in October along with other donations of makeovers, perfumes and cinema tickets.

Anyone who is interested in supporting the Isis Centre should contact Miss Keach on (0798) 6765022.
