School receives huge donation to fix storm-damaged educational facility

Date:

AN appeal for help was answered this week after a Hailsham Primary School suffered damage following Storm Isha.

A large Polytunnel which allows children at Grovelands Primary School to grow vegetables and learn about horticulture was ripped apart when storms hit over the weekend.

After a post online appealing for help to fix them, a local business stepped in and offered to get it repaired at no cost to the school.

The generous donation was given from Hailsham-based company, The Resilience and Wellbeing Company, which are specialists in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) and Resilience training for individuals and organisations

Adrian from the company said: “We think the school farm is an amazing project and we hope our donation will reassure the kids that they will still be able to enjoy the benefits of the polytunnel this year.”

The polytunnel allowed children to grow from seed, 26 different vegetables last year and is hugely instrumental to their learning about horticulture.
