Promoting Learning by Having Fun

Carnforth Rotary were pleased to be able to provide supplemental funding to further progress the excellent work done by Over Kellet Playgroup, in providing a natural garden area with raised beds, stepping stones, sand and water trays etc. Funded so far, by hard work of parents with raffles, baking cakes and attending coffee mornings.

Carnforth Rotary Associate Rotarians, Heather Baker and Ian Morris accompany HRH the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, on a school tour at a Sierra Leone home for primary and secondary children with a range of disabilities.  

One aspect of the tour included unveiling the Carnforth Rotary recognition plaque, at the entrance to the newly constructed safe play area, which was made possible by our generous support.
