Rotary club's play boost for Beacon Hill

A SPECIAL assembly was held at Beacon Hill Special School after the Mar Dyke Valley Rotary club donated play equipment.

The club handed over £2,500 worth of play equipment including, Nintendo Wii’s and scooters to the school in Erriff Drive, South Ockendon.

Headteacher Richard Milligan, said: “Since Beacon Hill School opened four years ago, the Mar Dyke Rotary Club have supported us on many occasions, but this time they have excelled themselves.

“Their generous gifts, purchased with money raised across Thurrock, will be shared across the school and will support both the serious side of our work and give us a lot of fun and enjoyment.

“It was great to share our assembly with Lionel and his colleagues and to have the opportunity to thank them in person.

“We would also like to say a big thank you to all those residents who gave to the Rotary Club’s fundraising events and helped to make something special happen for our pupils."
