A KEIGHLEY special school has received a fundraising lift.

Phoenix has been given a £400 donation by Express Elevators.

Employees at the Baildon-based firm raised the cash through regular dress-down days.

"All the children and staff at Phoenix would like to say a huge thank-you to Express Elevators for the fantastic donation," said school spokesman Jason Patefield.

"The money will pay for equipment to use in our sensory room."

The school Friends are finalising preparations for their next fundraising event, an evening of clairvoyance at the Octagon, Sandbeds, on Tuesday (Mar 22).

The 7pm to 10pm event will feature Jacqui Hampshaw and Jane Crump.

Tickets are available, priced £5, from the school on 01535 607038.

Also, the Braithwaite school is seeking volunteers to help at its holiday play schemes.
