YOUNGSTERS are continuing to benefit from free breakfast, thanks to a generous donation.

The Ross High Breakfast Café launched in August and is open to all pupils at the Tranent secondary school, taking place every morning in the school between 8am and 8.30am.

Paula Edmond, president of Tranent Rotary Club, visited the breakfast café last week to present a cheque for £750, meaning that the club can now expand its offering.

Nicky Bidder, principal teacher of equity at the school, said: "Around 70 pupils a day head to the canteen to eat their breakfast with their friends. 

"With the generous donation from Tranent Rotary Club, we have bought a new toaster and have been able to buy additional supplies to ensure pupils have the choice of butter or jam on their toasted goods as well as a cup of juice.

"We cannot thank them enough for their thoughtful generosity."
