READ all about it! An out-of-school club in Bury has secured a £350 grant to transform its reading room.

The club, based at Christ Church in Walshaw, has been awarded the cash by the Nescafe Kids' Club Challenge.

This is a two year partnership between the coffee manufacturers and Kids' Club Network. The aim is to provide cash awards to encourage educational activities.

Christ Church's grant will be used to improve the out-of-school club's reading room which will be turned into a quiet, relaxing area.

Once the project is up and running, the children will be able to invite local authors and journalists to the club and start their own newsletter.
