Hide AdHeysham man Steve Trainor who raised the funds for the bench, said: “The money was raised by a generous donation of two cases (24 bottles ) of quality wine donated by Naked wines, a wine club I am a member of.
"Then Morrisons very kindly allowed me into store on two Saturdays to raffle it where in total I raised £1040 to buy the bench.
"The bench will be unveiled by John McGuinness in Happy Mount park by the children’s swings opposite the crazy golf course.”
