Gift for village school

The after-school club at Knowsley Village Community Primary School has been able to buy a range of new equipment thanks to the support of tissue makers SCA.
The company donated £250 for the school to buy craft items for the children to learn new skills, as well as outdoor games and other activities.
“It was a lovely surprise,” said teacher Mrs Carol Ford, who manages the after-school club. “We have up to 20 pupils attending the club each day and they have absolutely loved having so many new things to do. The donation has been very much appreciated.”
The donation came through a request to the mill from employee Amanda Rose, who lives in Knowsley Village and has a daughter attending the school.
Site manager Mark Mannering said: “The after-school club is a great boon for parents and their children and we were pleased to be able to help with new equipment to keep the children interested, active and entertained.”
