A TRUCK firm has boosted a Pelton school's fundraising.
Mercedes-Benz van and truck dealer Bell Truck Sales, Longbenton, Newcastle, has given £250 to Roseberry Junior and Infants School.
The firm has a depot at Birtley where Gillian Halpin, whose nine-year-old son Lee is a Roseberry pupil, is the receptionist.
The money will go towards computer equipment and costumes for the gymnastics team.
Bell Truck Sales director Yvonne Bell said: "As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations we put aside money to donate to charitable causes throughout the region.
"When the receptionist at our Birtley service depot, Gillian Halpin, mentioned Roseberry needed funds for computer equipment and costumes for the gymnastics team, we were only too willing to help.
