A FRUIT and vegetable garden has been created at a primary school thanks to kind hearted volunteers.

The Rotary Club of Northwich Vale Royal and the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of Cuddington Primary School teamed up on the community project to provides an educational and social amenity at the Ash Road school.

Peter Chapman, Rotary community committee chairman, said: "When the Rotary Club of Northwich Vale Royal received a request from the headteacher at Cuddington Primary School for help to revitalize a small area of the school grounds into a useful amenity for the school, we were delighted to offer our help.

The committee had indicated some time ago that they would like to get involved in small community projects and here was a project that the club felt were able both physically and financially capable of doing.

“It is not all about raising funds for charities, it is also about being involved in the community and in this case fellow Rotarian Steve Hollis became project manager and designed it."

The volunteers funded and built two raised beds with new fencing.

Headteacher Yvonne Elliott said: "The school has a keen gardening club and the facility will also be used as a practical element within the school curriculum.

“There has has been a lot of positive feedback from parents and children.

"It is a great improvement and I would like to thank the Rotary Club of Northwich Vale Royal and the school’s PTA for all their very hard work."
