A CHARITY ball helped to raise £2,000 for equipment at a primary school.

Teachers and parents of pupils at St Andrews Primary School in Over Hulton held the event at Bolton's Albert Halls on Saturday.

Hundreds of pounds were raised through a charity auction, which featured items including a cricket bat signed by Lancashire and England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff and a Bolton Wanderers season ticket.

The money will be used to buy school equipment.
