School children get road safety keychains thanks to house builder

Pupils of Elmswell Community Primary School have been helped to stay safe on the roads thanks to a donation of reflective keychains from housebuilder, Orbit  Homes.

The keychains will help the children stay more visible in the dark when walking home from school and the donation of over 400 high-vis keychains for the school’s pupils was made in support of Orbit Homes’ commitment to the safety of its customers and communities.

The housebuilder also worked closely with the school’s Road Safety team to pick out a wide variety of keychains for the children, ranging in designs from hearts and stars to footballs  and animals.

Students who act as junior road safety officers handed out the reflective keychains to all pupils across the school from nursery to Year 6.

Elmswell Community Primary School is located close to two of Orbit Homes’ current developments, Brook Gardens, in Elmswell, and Brickmakers Place, in Woolpit.

Andy Georgiou, the sales and marketing director for Orbit Homes in the East, said: “We are committed to making a positive impact in the local communities in which we build.

This donation of reflective keychains was a perfect opportunity for us to work with Elmswell Community Primary School to provide all the schoolchildren with something that helps them stay safe on the roads. We’re delighted to show our support for the school.”

Richard Ratcliffe, the headteacher at the school, added: “The safety and wellbeing of our pupils is our priority, and we’re very grateful to Orbit Homes for  this kind donation of reflective keychains that will help the children stay safe on the roads on their way to and from school.

“The pupils love the designs and were really excited to choose their own.”
