THE Rotary Club of Camelford recently made a donation of £500 to Little Otters Children’s Centre at Marshgate.

Little Otters provides nursery day care services to parents in North Cornwall.

It is a local charity that is managed by a volunteer management committee whose members are elected by the parents of the children who attend the centre. It is financed through a combination of nursery education funding, daily fees and charitable donations.

The centre manager Vikki Thomas and her eight supporting staff members provide their services 50 weeks per year, except for two weeks at Christmas and bank holidays.

The Little Otters Children’s Centre is recognised by Camelford Rotary Club as a very valuable service to the local community, providing much needed pre-school support to young families.

Recently, David Hodge, immediate past president of the Camelford Rotary Club, presented a cheque for £500 to committee members Lisa Ward and Helen Washer to help finance new carpets and internal redecoration.

The centre extended thanks to the Rotary Club for the kind donation.
