A LOTTERY grant is helping to pay for a programme of fun events for children in Birchwood this summer.

The town council and housing group Frontis secured £8,200 from the National Lottery's Awards for All' grant scheme.

Activities including tag-rugby, tri-golf and football are being put on for free for five to 12-year-olds at Birchwood High School. Call 856680 to find out more.
