ROSSENDALE Family Forum is to receive a £5,500 cash boost.
The Forum bid for the grant from the Countryside Agency's Local Heritage Initiative funding programme.
This award will be used to develop the Playdays School and Community Project, where trained play leaders visit schools and teach some of the playground games of the past.
The Forum also hopes to run a programme of activities in the summer for holiday clubs and other venues.
If anyone would like their school or group to be involved, or would like to contribute their recollections to the research into local games and toys, contact Val or Alyson on 01706 260978.
