STAFF at a children's club are celebrating after receiving a £5,000 boost to care for even more youngsters.

Harveys Kids Club in Pilkington Street will be given the money over the coming three years to pay for an additional play worker.

The money has been made available by the financial services business, AMP, which has supported 145 out-of-school clubs across the country..

Bolton Council's executive member for education, Cllr Linda Thomas, said: "The club is a vital part of the local community and this additional funding means that we can offer more support to families in the area."
