FAIRGROUND horses are helping to launch an enterprise selling second-hand children’s clothes, toys and equipment to raise money for local schools.

The Merry Go Round Community Interest Company (CIC) has been set up by Sadie Coventry, a mum of one, to help hard-pressed parents and raise money for local primary schools.

The shop will sell donations of good quality toys and equipment at reasonable prices, with all profits going to eleven primary schools in the North Tawton area.

Sadie, who has worked as a business manager, has ploughed her own money in to realise her dream of ‘doing something different’ with money left to her by her father and stepmother.
