Pupils learn to count on pension staff
Around 15 volunteers from Royal London Group, the UK's largest mutual life and pensions company, are helping pupils at Dalry Primary School by playing numbers-based board games or reading books with them.
The work is part of Number and Reading Partners and involves the volunteers spending an hour a week with children aged five to eight.
