The Wick Information Centre, in Wick Street, has been awarded a total £5,568 from The Big Lottery Fund Awards For All scheme and Littlehampton Rotary Club.

The money has paid for a new, state-of-the-art photocopier which staff at the centre hope will be used to promote local events.

Manager Julie Roby thanked the Rotary club for donating its slice of the funding – about £860 – and fund-raiser Rosemary Orpin for all her assistance.

She said: “We were thrilled with the cash. It’s really going to help the Wick community.

“It has enabled us to purchase a new state-of-the-art Toshiba photocopier which will mean we can offer a wider range of services including multi-position stapling, stitch finishing, scanning and printing, particularly to the residents of Wick.”

She added that the decision was made to purchase the machine due to an increased demand for copied papers.

Photocopying starts at 8p a page for A4 black and white copies. Discounts are offered for charities and traders.

The centre is open on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, between 9am and 4pm.
