Pre-school kids take steps to help Heysham nursery and Children in Need

Heysham Community Pre-School

Pre-school children have put their best foot forward for Children in Need and for vital repairs to their nursery in Heysham.

The children, aged two to five years, from Heysham Community Pre-School have been taking part in twice-daily walks to raise money for the good causes.

Money raised will be split 50-50 between the BBC's annual fundraiser for Children in Need, and for essential maintenance to keep the pre-school running,

At time of writing more than £750 had been raised.

"We're coming together as a preschool community to take on a daily walking challenge to raise money for two very special causes," says the fundraising page.

"Our wonderful Heysham Community Pre-School is a small, local charity providing a fantastic, caring and nurturing environment where children aged 2–5 years can learn, play, grow and thrive.

"Recently, the preschool has faced significant unexpected costs due to essential building repairs and maintenance. As a small charitable setting, expenses like these can put considerable pressure on already limited funds, funds that we would much rather see going directly towards the children, their experiences and their development.

"So, we're putting our best feet forward!

"Not only are we raising much-needed funds, but we're also helping our little ones learn about kindness, generosity, teamwork and the wonderful difference we can make by helping others.

"Our children, families, preschool team and supporters are coming together to take on a daily walking challenge, bringing our community together, one little step at a time!

"Every donation will be split equally between two very special causes:

"50 per cent to Heysham Community Pre-School to help replenish funds following essential building repairs and maintenance, allowing the preschool to continue providing a wonderful environment and opportunities for local children aged 2–5 years.

"50 per cent to BBC Children in Need to help support children and young people across the UK who need extra care, support and opportunities.

"Every little step makes a difference!

"Whether you donate, share our fundraising page or simply cheer us along, every bit of support means the world to us and our little walkers.

"Let's show just how wonderful our community is and what we can achieve when we all come together.

"Two charities. One community. A thousand little steps towards something bigger!

"Thank you so much for supporting our little walkers and helping us make a BIG difference!"
