We donated £1000 to Little Bear Books who, through its affiliation with Usborne, one of the world’s leading independent children’s book publishers, works with schools across the UK to raise funds for new resources.
Our donation came from its community fund linked to the our Hartford development, which has shared £10,000 between 11 good causes and charities.
Lauren Parker from Little Bear Books said: “Sandiway Primary School got in touch with me as they wanted to run a sponsored reading event called Ready, Steady, Read on World Book Day. Alongside any event I run with schools, I always offer to run a Community Book Pledge, and this is what Redrow supported with their donation.”
Usborne always provides a free percentage of books on top of any amount raised whether that be by fundraising or a community book pledge. Redrow’s donation was topped up by Usborne so Sandiway Primary School received a donation of £1600 in total.
Lauren added: “It’s been great working with Redrow to provide a phenomenal amount of brand-new books to Sandiway Primary School. These books will help to enhance the learning opportunities of current and future pupils at the school and I am extremely grateful to Redrow for their support.”
Sue Atkinson, literacy lead at Sandiway Primary School said: “A huge thank you to Redrow for their generous donation. Our children can’t wait to get reading and the books can now be found in our classroom reading areas for all the children to enjoy.”
Anna Evans-Kerr, sales director at Redrow North West, said: “This is such a great initiative and will have such a positive impact on the children at Sandiway Primary School. It’s great that they can start their new school year with a huge range of brand new books.”
Redrow Hartford is located on Woods Road, with a selection of three and four-bedroom properties for sale.
