A pre-school is appealing to the community to help raise money for a new building so it can continue its work and reach its thirtieth birthday.
Horn’s Mill Pre-School in Helsby, which was founded in 1984, requires between £80,000 - £100,000 to replace its current home, a mobile classroom donated by Frodsham High School.
Manager Sue Huntbach, who has been involved with the project since it started, said: “We are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain it to an acceptable and safe level of upkeep. For example, the risk of water leaking from the roof into the electrics is a perennial and pressing problem.
“We have reached the point where it is uneconomical to continuously paper over the problems and feel a more permanent solution is necessary to enable pre-school to continue to trade and act as a feed for reception class and serve Horn’s Mill CP School with a breakfast and after school club.”
The pre-school, a registered charity, which is independent of Horn’s Mill Primary School but shares its playing field, has raised £10,500 so far.
