Successful fundraising schemes with both the Coop and Waitrose, along with regular fayres at both Christmas and spring raised over £6,000 in the last 12 months.

The new garden equipment which comprises a selection of solid wooden play equipment (a balance weaver, log traverse, log walk and scramble net log climber), new outdoor storage and freshly painted fences was unveiled to the children by Coop staff Brain Pooley (Regional manager) and Tina (Coop Monkston Park store manager) at a garden launch party on Tuesday 17th July. The families enjoyed an ice-cream van and cake to celebrate, along with giant garden games and prizes for all the children.
