Comments from the community
“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for our ‘school in a box’ which was delivered yesterday.
“We were astounded by how much was packed into the box. What a thoughtful and extremely generous gesture. We all said it was like Christmas! The children were so excited to see what was in the box. They loved putting their individual work packs together and started playing immediately with all the balls and sports equipment.
“It was a highlight of the day yesterday and made us very happy indeed. Thank you so much for thinking of schools and childcare settings during this time; it means such a lot to us.”
“Our box arrived yesterday afternoon, just after I had left, much to the surprise and delight of the staff on duty!! They immediately sent a photo and message to our whole staff WhatsApp group and there were lots of excited and positive responses! We have also tweeted a thank you on our school Twitter account!
“This is a lovely idea and the box contents will be used daily in our childcare facility!! Well done to whoever thought of this and THANK YOU!”
