A charity which supports children with additional needs will install an outdoor play area after receiving a £2,500 boost.
Little Miracles, based in Ely, was awarded the funding by The Screwfix Foundation, which supports projects to improve facilities for those in need.
Justin Heron, of Little Miracles, said: “We are very grateful to The Screwfix Foundation for donating these much needed funds to support our charity.
“Little Miracles is a parent led support group and charity for families that have children with autism, additional needs, disabilities and life limiting conditions.
“The funding will allow us to install an outdoor play centre and storage for play equipment.
“We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the fundraising – it’s been a huge help to us and the families that we support.”
Ben Cole, store manager of the Screwfix store in Ely, said: “We’re really pleased that one of our local charities has been awarded funding by The Screwfix Foundation.
