The Original Factory Shop in Corsham has chosen a playgroup helping children with special needs to be their charity partner for 2012.

The store, based in the Martingate Centre, is aiming to raise at least £500 for Springboard Opportunity Nursery, based in Lodge Road, Chippenham, through a fundraising programme throughout the year.

Store manager Catherine Symons said: “We think that we can really help to make a difference to Springboard this year."
