PRE-school children at Holyrood Altrincham Nursery are not only discovering that ‘charity begins at home’ - but that caring for others who need help is an important part of their learning at nursery.
Fresh from their recent success in raising £7,866.02 across the Bertram Nursery Group’s 30 plus nurseries for Comic Relief Red Nose Day 2015, the children and staff have decided to support Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, as their Charity of the Year.
The children are busy planning fund raising activities that will take place from May to the end of June based on their chosen ‘fairy and elf’ theme.
These include family fun nights, fairy and elf tea parties, summer fayres, picnics, parents’ evenings and sponsored walks.
Sands supports anyone affected by the death of a baby; and promotes and funds research to save babies’ lives.
