Parents and volunteers rally to help restore school fence in Grantham




A group of parents and volunteers have rallied to help restore a school fence, and are appealing for more helpers.

The project to restore the fence at Little Gonerby Infant School began last night (Wednesday), through the help of volunteers from Alive Church and parents of pupils at the school.

Jeni Jones and her husband Steve, who have a grandson that attends the school, noticed that the fence was in bad shape, describing it as "horrible" and "rusty".

They asked the head teacher at Little Gonerby if they could help to restore and paint the fence, and were met with a resounding yes.

Jeni said: "[The school] were overjoyed with our offer as have not had the resource or time to sort it.

"So, we rallied some of our friends at Alive Church, and some parents, and kicked off the project last night."
