• Night Owl Books – £25 voucher

The event took place to raise funds for each class and nursery to have a Christmas party,plus improvements to the school playground.
Funds were raised by people purchasing quality second hand clothes that had been kindly given by people throughout the local community. This encouraged  clothes to be reused rather than buying new and saved a lot of clothes from going to landfill.
Heather McDonald was also present selling Tropic Skincare products, the proceeds from which contributed to the overall total.
Surplus clothes from the event were donated to Kids Love Clothes, the rag bag bin, and local charity shops, along with the nursery for families that need extra support.
