Children from Dycorts School, in Settle Road, Harold Hill, soaked up the Southend sun as part of a day out organised by generous Rotarians.

They joined around 600 disadvantaged youngsters from schools across the region for a day at the Essex town’s famous funfair, last Wednesday (June 13).

Food and drink was served up to after the rides.

Rotary spokesman Phil Edwards said: “It was a fantastic day out which we Rotarians enjoy as much as the kids! We support Dycorts School financially with regular donations.”
