We recently made a significant contribution to enhancing the outdoor space at All Saints C.E Primary School by providing two benches for their playground.

This donation, part of the ongoing Destination Upton programme, enhances the functionality of the school playground and further demonstrates our commitment to fostering positive connections with local schools.

It is not the first time we have collaborated with the school, last year we worked with pupils on a bulb planting session, the fruits of which are now beginning to appear as we enter spring.

Georgina Crank, Social Impact and Engagement Officer said: "I love initiatives like this, it what makes me proud to do what I do everyday. Especially when you see smiles on the children's faces. Being able to contribute positively to the community and create spaces where children can thrive is so rewarding."

Mrs J. Davies, Head of All Saints C.E Primary School said: 'The new benches at All Saints Upton will mean that our children can have a safe space to sit and chat or rest during play and lunch times. Although we have plenty of equipment to keep them busy, children just sometimes need a chance to catch up with a friend or talk about a problem, or even just discuss their homework and that is what the benches will do. Thank you so much for your kind gift, it is much appreciated.'
