Wales' largest housebuilder has donated £1,000 to Llangynwyd Primary School's project to create an outdoor learning space for local children. Persimmon Homes West Wales made the donation as part of its Community Champions programme, which allocates £50,000 annually to good causes and valued organisations across Wales.
Community Champions Programme
The programme has recently supported other local groups, including Llangynwyd Rangers FC, Coity Chiefs Girls, and Coity Community Council. Sharon Bouhali, sales director at Persimmon Homes West Wales, commented: "Persimmon has a strong record of supporting schools across West Wales and organisations in the Bridgend County borough. We were delighted to once again be doing so through this donation to Llangynwyd Primary School."
Commitment to Local Communities
Bouhali added: "With plans afoot to bring a sustainable new community of zero carbon-ready homes to Llangynwyd, it is imperative that Persimmon supports local public services, especially education, not only as part of our commitment to our customers but to leave a positive and lasting legacy for those in the area where we build."
School's Vision for Outdoor Education
Kelly Kehoe, headteacher at Llangynwyd Primary School, said: "We are a highly inclusive school that takes great pride in ensuring every child fulfils their potential. Our aim is for pupils to leave us as well-rounded, thoughtful individuals who embody strong values and have high aspirations for their future. Our dedicated staff are committed to maintaining high standards and expectations in all that we do.
"That's why this generous donation from Persimmon will be such a help as we pursue our ambition to deliver a forest school for our pupils, so they can have a hands-on education, making use of the beautiful outdoors as they learn."
