A rotary club is hoping to get primary school pupils involved in fundraising.

Cowdenbeath Rotary Club wants to organise sponsored walks in May or June, with children walking a mile around their school playgrounds.

The club's vice-president, Craig Bennet, has written to headteachers to propose the idea.

He said: "We would like to organise sponsored walks involving pupils of our primary schools with them walking a mile round their school playground."

The funds raised would be split, with half going to the school and the other half supporting local projects or charities.

Mr Bennet added: "Rotarians know local projects or charities which would very much appreciate the money which could help people in the Cowdenbeath-Lochgelly area.

"The young people could do a lot of good for their own local area and keep fit at the same time."

The walks would take place in May or June.
