Rotary Dragons foil rabbits
The children from Shevington Primary School used money from the Rotary Dragons Den to protect their plants from rabbits
So not to be beaten and thanks to a donation from the Wigan Rotary Club’s Dragons Den event the school have purchased some planters which has resulted in the rabbits going away hungry.
Teacher Emma Leyland said ‘The school gardening club is a very popular part of the school and we wanted to maintain the children’s interest and continue to increase their knowledge. The donation from Wigan Rotary Club have enabled us to do this.’
Rotary President Keith Trencher said ‘We were delighted to make the donation for such a worthwhile cause and we wanted to come to the school and see how successful the planters have been.’ He continued ‘ the donations we made at the Dragons Den event were only possible thanks to the generosity of the Wigan public, and the trust they place in us to use that money wisely, and I am sure they agree that we have in this instance.’
The next Dragons Den event which is open to all Wigan based community groups will take place next year and will be advertised in the local press. The club recently celebrated its ninetieth anniversary, and in the last year has donated over £20000 to groups and charities both at home and abroad.
