OUTDOOR projects could be in for a helping hand thanks to a Northwich group.

The Rotary Club of Northwich Vale Royal is appealing to organisations to get in touch if they have a garden scheme that needs help to get off the ground or can provide a home for one of two celebratory benches.

The benches were originally offered to Northwich as a celebration of 100 years of Rotary in 2005 but were removed from the Bull Ring when it was refurbished last year.

They have undergone a facelift themselves and are nearly ready to be sited where they can be used and appreciated by the community.

Projects that the club is looking to help include nursing home garden projects, school garden or an area where the benches are sited that needs a little care and attention.

Projects must be partially funded as the club is seeking joint ventures both financially and in the project's development.
