May fair raises �500 for pre-schools

CHILDREN from two Portishead playgroups raised �500 with a May fair at the Children’s Centre.

Local charity Portishead Playgroups, which runs Hilltop and Brampton pre-schools, put on the event with stalls, refreshments, activities, face painting and fancy dress.

With the help of Portishead Lions, the charity raised �500 which will be used to buy toys and equipment for both pre-schools.

The charity would like to thank all the local businesses which donated raffle prizes and to all the staff, parents and supporters who helped on the day.
