AN ANDOVER man has created his second book to help raise money for The Leprosy Mission, which aims to get rid of the infectious disease worldwide.

After publishing his first book two years ago, A little book of bible Promises, Brian Cartwright, created his second book which became available to purchase last month called A Little Book of Bible Blessings on The Leprosy Mission website. 

The book features all of Brian's own photography, alongside small verses from The Bible next to each photograph. 

Brian, who is retired after working at The Stanley Group, said: "Many years ago I used to collect stamps and postcards to help raise money for The Leprosy Mission, and then they said 'we need someone to take photographs for our books can anyone help', so I started to send some over and since then I have been sending photos on a regular basis. It saves them going to have to buy them because I send them for free.

"The idea is that you can just have these books and they can be accessible at any point due to their smaller size."

The Leprosy Mission helps people suffering from leprosy, which impacts more than 200,000 people every year.
