Children at St Mary's Primary School manged to raise £300 for their library, with help from Morrisons.

Keira Tait, community champion at Bridport Morrisons, said: "Poor literacy amongst children is a growing problem. Morrisons is playing an active role by introducing Little Libraries giving access to books to all children in all their stores.

"So, when St Mary's Primary School in Bridport approached me about raising money for their library, of course I said 'yes'.

"The children created some fantastic artwork which was made into a display in store. Through customer donations and three weeks of our book stall money I had the great pleasure to present them with £300 this morning.

"This is an amazing amount for them to be able to invest in books for the pupils. Whilst there I also donated the first books from our own Little Library and some snacks for Year 6."
