The Star reported in December as a crowdfunding campaign to bring the store to St Helens town centre reached its target of £40,000 thanks to donations from the community, which enabled the project to access additional funds. The former Furniture Boutique on Bridge Street, part of Church Square Shopping Centre, will be transformed into the bookshop. While the latest coronavirus lockdown has meant the initial aim of opening to coincide with World Book Day in early March will not be met, it is hoped the shop can be open to the public later in the spring.

Saints skipper James Roby has backed the campaign SAINTS captain James Roby is encouraging people to take part in an exercise challenge which asks people to team up with a friend or relative. Active St Helens is running a Buddy Boost Challenge in February which encourages people to join up with friends or family to get some exercise. The campaign is being backed by a host of Saints stars, including the club captain James Roby. He said: “I’m taking part in the St Helens Buddy Boost Challenge this February. All you have to do is buddy up with a friend and support each other to do 26 minutes of exercise a day for 26 days in a row. It can be any exercise and at less than half an hour a day it should be easy enough to fit in around your work or family. Or better still get your family involved as well.”
IN the world of rugby league it was a year like no other – with the sport not immune from the dark cloud of Covid hanging over 2020. So maybe it was only fitting, then, that the season would end like no other with Jack Welsby’s after the bell touchdown securing back-to-back Super League titles for Saints. But what a tumultuous year for the sport. A four-month hiatus, players being furloughed, games being behind closed doors on neutral venues, a raft of rule changes and a table settled on percentages all contributed to a season that threw challenges at the players and coaching staff every week.
An artist s image of the book shop A CROWDFUNDING plea to bring a community bookshop to St Helens town centre has reached its target of £40,000. The project needed to achieve the minimum amount to become a reality. At about 4.45pm on Sunday the project hit the target. The former Furniture Boutique on Bridge Street, part of Church Square Shopping Centre, will be transformed into a bookshop and could launch in March. The £40k mark was the minimum target to unlock the matched funding and organisers will leave the appeal open in the coming days in an effort to reach £45k, which would secure additional funds.
