A SPRING fair held by retirees in Warwick has raised over £1,000 for more books for the local school.
Austin Heath retirement village put on the event in March to raise funds for Heathcote Primary School’s library.
The fair included lawn games, live music from local singer Denise Pitter, and local independent stalls featuring handmade gifts, artwork, clothing and locally sourced produce.
The funds will go towards enhancing the school’s library resources and supporting its Reading Champions scheme, which encourages pupils to promote a love of reading among their peers.
Tim Browne, village manager at Austin Heath, said: “This spring fair was a wonderful chance to bring the community together while supporting a fantastic local cause. We were excited to raise funds for Heathcote Primary School and celebrate local creativity, including the talents of our residents.”
