A Blaenau Ffestiniog school has won £1,000 to spend on computers.

The Llaeth y Llan award has been presented to Ysgol Bro Hedd Wyn to buy six Chromebooks for the school.

The school won the award when they were chosen by the yogurt company as its September Recycling Competition Raffle Draw winners.

Llaeth y Llan’s £20,000 prize fund recycling competition is rewarding winning schools all over Wales with monthly prizes worth up to £1,000.

Participating primary schools are required to recycle Llaeth y Llan yogurt pots in a fun and useful way, capturing the process at each step - along with their final design.

Explaining why they launched the competition, a Llaeth y Llan spokesperson said: “We are extremely excited to see the designs created by each school using our pots. Not only is recycling our main focus, we are proud to fund prizes that will assist the children’s future.”

They went on: “Being able to give £20,000 worth of prizes to schools that have suffered budget cut after budget cut makes the project worthwhile. School funding is simply not going to buy schools vital equipment such as Chromebooks, school garden supplies, sports gear and school trips. We want every school in Wales to have an equal opportunity to win their share of our £20,000 prize fund.”

Each month a winner is picked at random by a representative at primary schools located in various locations in Wales.

Each raffle is taken on the last Friday of each month until 26 June 2020.
