A PRE-SCHOOL in East Cornwall has won £4,000 from Tesco to replace their leaky roof.

Callington shoppers voted for Harrowbarrow and Metherell Pre-school to receive the sum from the supermarket chain’s Bags of Help sponsorship fund.

“We will be putting this amazing donation towards a new roof,” explained pre-school leader Emma Ferguson.

“The roof will cost £6,882, so we are currently fundraising for a further £2,882 to hopefully complete the new roof by Easter. This will make a huge difference to the staff and children of our pre-school, and thanks again to Tesco and all who voted for us.”

Tesco community manager Holly Hemmens said: “We are delighted our Bags of Help scheme can help keep the children safe and dry in future.”
