MEMBERS of Parents Need Parents are celebrating after receiving a £5,000 National Lottery grant.

The money, from the Lottery's Award for All programme, will allow the Leigh and Atherton group to further their work in supporting parents and children with disabilities, including planning a team building weekend away and various educational visits.

Group spokesman David Lewis said: "For a group like ours this is a large sum of money and it will allow us to help many local people."
