Lynn’s Reffley Community School won the bid for a donation of £500 from Lynn Lions in April 2011.

Schools throughout the district had the chance to submit a proposal on how they would use the money to benefit the pupils – and the winning suggestion by Reffley was for new outdoor furniture and seating for activities such as reading and picnics.

The funds for the prize money were raised by the Lions from their Fun Day, donations from the Norton Railway open day as well as fundraising from other events.
