Bacton Under Fives, a local care and educational group for young children has been awarded £1,000 from Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, after being announced as the winner of the homebuilder’s Community Chest competition.
Running throughout April, the competition aimed to bring the Bacton community together, asking people to nominate a charity, organisation or individual who they believe deserved a helping hand.
And after receiving 110 entries, Bacton Under Fives were selected as winners of the competition.
Bacton Under Fives offer childcare services for those aged from three months to 11 years old, aiming to transform the lives of local children and families by creating an environment which feels like home.
Established in 1978, the children’s group offers anything from after school to pre school care, while encouraging the learning and development of each child.
They aim to give children the freedom, ability and encouragement to learn across seven areas of learning, some of which include, communication and language, expressive arts and design and personal social and emotional development.
Pat Chapman, manager of Bacton Under Fives, said: “We’re thrilled to have been selected by the local community as winners of the Community Chest competition. Bacton Under Fives offers young children the chance to learn, play and develop their social skills and the wonderful prize will help us continue our support to families within the local community.”
Olivia Peters, head of sales at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, said: “We’re proud to be able to support a local organisation which supports young children and families within our community. The Community Chest is a fantastic initiative as it gives local people the chance to have their say and nominate causes which are close to their hearts. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part.”
