A community fund set up by a town centre jewellers served up some end-of-term treats for pupils at Hazeldene School.
For the second year running, Baker Brothers – whose shop is on St Peter’s Street – asked the community to nominate a primary school to win a picnic to celebrate the end of the year and to recognise the hard work of pupils and teachers.
They were inundated with suggestions throughout July and Hazeldene School in Putnoe was chosen as the lucky winner.
Headteacher Leanne Grove said: “We were delighted when we heard we had won this wonderful treat for the children. We’ve had a year of sporting success and wanted something to reward our winning sports teams from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 who won the County Athletic Championships 2022.
“We also wanted to say a big thank you to our Sports Leaders who all helped out at Sports Day as well as our House Captains, Head Boy and Head Girl and our Deputy Head Boy and Girl too.
“We would like to say a big thank you to Baker Brothers Diamonds for this lovely experience and thank you to Amanda at Toast the Host Catering too. She was so accommodating when it came to the children’s food requirements and allergies – nothing was too much trouble.”
The Baker Brothers team were on hand to help with proceedings and had fun with the children and teachers.
“The successful launch of our Community Fund last year has allowed us to provide support,
sponsorship and exciting experiences for local schools, clubs and charities,” said a member of the Baker Brothers team.
“We know how important it is to give something back to our local community and through the Baker Brothers Community Fund, we will continue providing much-needed support for local community groups for many years to come.”
