YOUNGSTERS at Lostock Pre-School Nursery are brushing up on their IT skills thanks to a £400 grant from Weaver Vale Housing Trust.

The Trust has given the money through its Community Assistance Fund to pay for a new laptop for the children.

Sarah Bowley, of Lostock Pre-School Nursery, said: “We are very grateful for the money we have received from Weaver Vale Housing Trust to purchase the new laptop.

“The laptop will enable the children to have fun whilst learning basic IT skills that will stand them in good stead for the future.”

Trust spokeswoman, Georgia Winstanley, said: “The aim of the Community Assistance Grants is to bring vital improvements carried out by organisations, which otherwise would not have the funding to make the changes.

“The Trust is delighted to be able to support Lostock Pre-School Nursery in this way – as they do so much great work with young people in the area.”
