Co-op store dig deep to help gardening club at Ruskington primary school
A gardening club at Chesnut CofE Primary School has secured hundreds of pounds after taking part in the Cooperative Community Champions scheme.
The scheme works by supporting local community groups with a donation raised through members shopping at their Co-op store, staff fundraising, the carrier bag levy and collection boxes.
Elizabeth Webster, support staff at Chesnut CofE Primary School, said: “We were very pleased when we learnt that we had been successful as our local Co-op store already supports the school and has been helpful with the Garden Club.”
