A GROUP of youngsters will have new toys to enjoy thanks to a donation from a supermarket chain.

Richmondshire Childminding Group was given a £400 cheque by North-East Co-op, to buy toys and equipment for their weekly group at St Joseph and St Francis Xavier RC Church hall, in Richmond.

The group has been short of toys since it changed venues and began to attract more children and minders.

The total was boosted by fundraising events.

The group meets on Monday mornings at 9.15am and at the Colburn Sure Start building at 9.15am on Tuesdays.

Anyone wishing to attend is asked to contact Dawn Thomas on 01748-850397.
