Children at Waddington All Saints School will find it easier to study IT, thanks to local builders merchant, Jackson, funding the installation of bench tables in the computer room.

The school commissioned Paul Dalton Joinery Ltd, a local business, to install the tables and Jackson Building Centres, which has their head office and showroom in Lincoln, who funded the project.

Jackson’s managing director, Andy Williams, visited the school to see the children using the computer room. He said: “We have a strong relationship with the school and help them wherever we can.

“Many of our staff and customers have children who are students here.”

Williams explained that the children previously had “odd tables” and had to prop their computers up.

He added: “We were delighted to help and, being purpose-built, the new benches make it much easier for them to use their PCs.”

A shopping day at Washingborough Hall Country House Hotel has raised £500 for the Breast Unit at Lincoln County Hospital.

Over 100 ladies went to day, which included offers from The Grange Spa, Lulu, Sophie Allport and Attica Design.

There was also a three course canape lunch and a raffle which was drawn by Senior Breast Care Nurse Beth Croft.

The day was organised by Lucy Herring, owner of Washingborough Hall and Marketing, and Communications Consultant Debbie Newman.

Herring said the day “was a fantastic opportunity for ladies to come and enjoy themselves”.

She added: “Lots of women are affected by breast cancer, or know someone who has been affected, so this was a great opportunity to raise money to support our regional breast care unit.”

Macmillan Breast Care Nurse Specialist, Andrea Dean at Lincoln County Hospital said the money donated will be used to improve patient care and to buy pieces of equipment for the unit.

Dean said: “We would like to say thank you to Washingborough Hall for arranging the day.”
