RUISHTON Primary School is collecting empty pens, of any quality, with or without lids – but it’s nothing to do with the spending cuts…

The items are recycled in a programme sponsored by Terracycle UK, Berol, Sharpie and Paper Mate.

For every writing instrument collected, 2p will be donated to Help for Heroes.

The programme is organised by a small group of committed pupils from years five and six If you would like to donate, contact the school on 01823-442832 or e-mail ndalton@educ.somerset.gov.uk
