The Claydon community got into the Christmas spirit with a donation from housebuilder Taylor Wimpey East Anglia to support Claydon High School’s Festive Afternoon Tea.
The secondary school hosted a Christmas-themed afternoon with the company donating £400 to cover the cost of each person’s entry to the event.
The contribution also supported the purchase of afternoon tea boxes which were donated to Barham Care Centre.
On the day, the local community enjoyed a special performance from the Claydon Choir while feasting on festive delights from cranberry tarts to Christmas pudding.
Kirsty Wilson, hospitality and catering teacher at Claydon High School, said: “The Festive Afternoon Tea was enjoyed by many of our students and the local community.
“We host various afternoon tea events throughout the year, but always require attendees to purchase a ticket, so we were delighted when Taylor Wimpey East Anglia offered to cover the cost of the entire event – thank you so much for the generous donation!”
Olivia Peters, head of sales at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, said: “Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for celebrating and we are delighted to have been able to support the Claydon community with its festive afternoon tea.
“Our partnership with Claydon High School is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to supporting the local community, and we hope to continue working with the school next year.”
