Northbury Primary School had been awarded gardening gloves at the City Bridge Trust, Growing Localities Awards Ceremony in 2016. The Charity Projects Committee provided gloves for this event.
This spring the school suffered an arson attack which destroyed their gardens, shed and greenhouse, including the prize gardening gloves. Maggie Manwaring wrote to their teacher she had met at the ceremony, to see if they would like the CPC to consider replacing the gloves. The CPC offered their full support and gardening gloves were soon sent on their way. She received a letter from the teacher, saying how over joyed the school and children were “It has been a tough summer, so thank you so much for the Worshipful Company of Glovers kind gesture and also your fabulous committee.”
The school will be inviting The Master and Maggie to visit the school once the gardens are open again and they will take photographs.
