A MAJOR retailer has donated £500 to a Durham school.
Sainsbury’s gave the cash to Belmont Community School.
The school’s Parent-Teacher Association will use the money to buy a table top cooker and under-counter fridge for school fairs, productions and fundraisers.
Lynne Hirst, of the Friends of Belmont, said: “The Friends of Belmont Community School are delighted to receive this cheque. We will now be able to purchase much needed equipment. We are extremely grateful.”
Graeme Turner, manager of Sainsbury’s Local at Cheveley Park, in Belmont, said: “I’m just really pleased that as a store we were able to support the local school to purchase something that you really needed.”
