School presents £400 cheque for home’s garden project

CHILDREN from St Katharine’s Primary School in Savenake Forest, Marlborough are helping to make everything in a care home’s garden look lovely.

Four schoolchildren with headteacher Niki Jones visited Brendoncare Froxfield care home to hand over a cheque for £400, which they raised from a bake sale. Manager Maria Wegner said: “We are all very grateful to St Katharine’s School for raising this fantastic amount of money to help us with our garden project.

“All our residents really enjoyed meeting and talking to the children.

“We always love to see children in our care home and we hope this will be the first of many visits from the school.”

The money will be used to install new features such as raised flowerbeds and replace the existing benches where residents and staff enjoy the glories of their garden.

After the presentation the children met the care home’s resident rabbit Rolo and played boules with some of the residents.
