COMMUNITY LIFE

Hunts Post readers have helped ensure a 450 windfall for two charities. The Anglia Co-operative foodstore in Sawtry launched its sixweek Token of Support community fundraising campaign with the newspaper. Customers were given a green token each time they shopped at the popular store during the sixweek campaign and asked to place it in a special collecting box for the cause they wanted to

support and the one receiving the most tokens at the end of the campaign picked up a cheque for 300. The other received 150. Sawtry Infant School topped the poll. Headteacher Fiona Wheatley said: The 300 donation will be put to great use. We are currently building an ecogarden and we would like to have some stepping stones leading down to it. The donation will make this happen. Sawtry Junior School will use

their 150 to fund a new playground trail. Headteacher Cathy Bailey said: Outdoor play is vital for the health and wellbeing of our pupils.

They hunted high and low but in the end the Filder familys keen eyes and ability to face the rain and cold won them the St Neots Book Treasure Hunt. The St Neots family took part in the event, organised by the Friends of St Neots Library, on November 9. Treasure hunters were tasked with searching for books in the windows of the towns shops and businesses. In total there were 37 to find and Elliott and Isabele, with the help of mum and dad, found them all to win.

I The Fidler family receive their prize from friends group members Dot Morfett and Joan Garratt. A spokesman for the Friends said: The annual event is held to raise funds and awareness of the library services. This

year we raised 36. We would like to give a big thank you to all participants, including families and individuals visiting the library that day. We are also very grateful to all the retailers who participated by displaying books in their windows as well as to Barretts for providing the 20 voucher prize. I The next event for the Friends of St Neots Library is a visit by Father Christmas. He will be at the library on Saturday, December 14. Times will be released in the next few weeks.
