MARK GETS COUNCIL APPROVAL: Orgill School in Egremont has received a £3,000 boost from the Charlie and Kathleen Dunnery Children's Fund.

Trustee Mark Andrews presented the money to the school's Children's Council. The money will go towards projects such as refurbishing the playground.

The money was raised from various events put on mainly by Mark and attended by Egremont-born singing star Francis Dunnery. Mark said: “If any local group working with children would like to benefit from any future events they can go to the website www.ckdcf.org.”
