A STRETFORD school's appeal to provide iPads has been boosted by a Trafford estate agent.

Steven Cox, the managing director of Trading Places, backed a drive to raise £3,000 for the iPads for Victoria Park Infant School

He set up a justgiving page and the initiative took off to raise £550 for the fund.

Steven said: "I set it up and received donations from many nice people.

"We also helped other schools in the area like Moss Park with the hiring of a bouncy castle and my Urmston office recently bought a play house for the infants at Davyhulme Primary for their children to have an imagination section of the playground.

"We are trying to put something back into the community and are looking at more ways to help schools and the community."

Trading Places has offices in Urmston, Stretford and Chorlton.
