Cash in the ‘Dragon’s Den’ available for community groups
COMMUNITY groups and charities landed much-needed funding after appealing for cash in a Dragon's Den style showdown.
The event was organised by RCS Professional Development, a non-profit company set up by staff and volunteers of Rawmarsh Comprehensive School to support primary schools in teaching gymnastics, dance and athletics.
Surplus money is re-invested in the company or distributed for the benefit of the school or the local community.
The successful candidates were Rawmarsh Rock School, Methodist Bowling Club, High Street Lunch Club, Rawmarsh Leisure Group, Headway, Social Eyes, St Joseph's Primary School, Activate Youth Project and POPS Summer Camp.
