PRIMARY school pupils have benefited from Westhoughton Rotary s generous donations. Eatock, Sacred Heart, St George’s, St James’, St Thomas, Chequerbent, The Gates and Washacre Primary Schools all received £620 each. The money has been used to buy laptops and tablets. They originally planned to donate £500, however, this was increased to £620 per school thanks to extra support. President Jim Yates said: “We were sad not to be able to take our sleigh out and meet children at Christmas but, thanks to some generous donations, we’ve still been able to give some more vital help to local families “Our original plan was boosted thanks to £200 from Brookfield Ladies and a further £100 from their craft group. St Bartholomew’s School generously added to the total saying they didn’t need additional laptops.
