GENEROUS funding will allow an Ellesmere Port day centre to purchase specialised computer equipment for its residents.

A cheque for £1,000 was presented to The Coronation Centre by Ellesmere Port Lions Club on behalf of staff from Reutlingen Lions Club in Germany.

For years Ellesmere Port has enjoyed a town twinning friendship with Reutlingen, and both Lions Clubs have enjoyed several exchange visits over the past 20 years.

After a successful visit to Ellesmere Port in 2012, Reutlingen Lions pledged financial support for a deserving cause within the community and have kept their word, by donating to The Coronation Centre on Coronation Road.
