TRELOAR’S has received a massive donation of £5,750 from Homes Estate Agents.

It comes after a charity promotion which the agents organised throughout summer and autumn last year, where a property would be launched to market between May and September and if successfully completed before the year-end, Homes donated £250 for each deal.

The donation from Homes, in the form of a giant cheque, was unveiled as part of a surprise presentation to primary school teacher Katherine Paddington and some pupils.

The donation will help to fund Treloar’s Forest School project, which Katherine has spearheaded.

The Forest School will be created in the grounds of Treloar’s and provide students with an outdoor learning area, with a variety of sensory experiences.

Lucie Sim Davis, corporate fundraiser at Treloar’s, said: “We are so grateful to Homes Estate Agents for this donation and hugely thankful to their customers as well for making this possible.

“This has given our funding efforts for the Forest School initiative a massive boost. When completed this year, it will be hugely beneficial for our school students, allowing them to spend more time learning outdoors and improving their overall health and well-being.

“There can’t be many better ways for our students to combat the challenging Covid-19 times than this.”

Rob Barr, director at Homes Estate Agents, added: “We love supporting Treloar’s wherever we can and our entire team is hugely motivated to help out. It’s almost impossible to do justice to the tremendous work done at the school but it really shines through when you meet the students and experience their obvious enthusiasm and pleasure at being here.

“We are so pleased to support the Forest School project, as it’s going to be truly great extension to the learning resources at Treloar’s.

“Let’s hope more funds can be raised to get it completed as soon as possible.”
