“This generous funding from TG Lynes will help us to improve facilities for our disabled users and also to make an additional activity space available for the community.”

Rebecca Panteli, headteacher at Southbury Primary School, added: “We are determined to provide the very best environment possible for our 420 pupils, but it is no secret that school budgets are a challenge.

“Naturally, we want to do what we can to support the community and Helping Hands gives us the opportunity to make a tangible difference,” commented Managing Director at TG Lynes, Andrew Ingram.

“Having visited both The Ruth Winston Community Centre and Southbury Primary School myself, I know these are two very worthy causes and both are committed to providing the very best facilities. I know they will use their funding wisely for the benefit of their users.”
