Swimmers box clever

Members of Welshpool Sharks Swimming Club have dived into a challenge to prepare shoe boxes to send to the underprivileged in Eastern Europe.

The swimmers pulled together to fill a total of 50 boxes with goods and toys for boys, girls, babies, teenagers or for the general household.

“This has been done in order to spread a little happiness across the world to others who are less fortunate than ourselves,” said a spokesperson.

Pictured with the 50 rotary shoe boxes for distribution are: Freddie Murton-Jones, 13, a pupil from Welshpool High School; Meggie Thomas, 11, from Llanfyllin High School; and Henry Murton-Jones, 11, from Welshpool High School.
