Walking Bus News

Our Walking Bus has started. Come and join us!

pudsey The volunteers and the walking bus children at Unsworth Primary held a sponsored ‘welly’ walk to school, and a Match the Pudsey competition, to raise funds for Children In Need 2008.

We raised £260 in total so well done all!

The fund-raising organiser Mrs Marianne Thurm said, “We were all very proud of ourselves for ‘Doing Something Different’ to raise money for such an important cause”.

The co-operative sponsored walking buses operate during term time on Tuesday mornings from Harris Drive, Wednesday plus Friday mornings from Swinton Crescent and Thursday morning from Rhodes Drive.
