A children’s charity in Peterborough has benefitted from a kitchen makeover thanks to the generosity of local clothing brand Yours Clothing.
The Play House Pre-School and Out of School Club in Gunthorpe is run by Barnardo’s and has been in urgent need of a new kitchen for some time, in order to continue to support the care of up to 80 children in the school holidays.
Lynn McNish, Children’s Services Manager at Barnardo’s said:
“We cannot thank Andrew Killingsworth and the Yours Clothing team enough for the drastic makeover they have given to the kitchen. It is now much bigger and means we can cater far more easily for the children we support; as well as giving the children a chance to get involved in developing their own cooking skills.
“Our Holiday Club is a lifeline for many families in our community over the school holidays, providing nutritious food for the children and somewhere for them to learn and have fun with friends. This will make a huge difference to the team and we really do appreciate all of their hard work to get this completed.”
Kay Clay, HR Director at Yours Clothing said:
“We are delighted to have been able to help this fantastic local facility that does so much for Peterborough children. When we saw the tiny kitchen they had been working from and heard how much more they wanted to do if they had the right facilities, we knew that we could help them. From the initial discussions the project grew and with the support of Chris Woosnam and the team at CK4 who, in addition to planning and delivering the project for us, gifted their workforce. Together we were able to give the Play House a brand new kitchen that has the space, facilities and vibrant environment that they longed for. It has been great to see how happy the children, staff and volunteers are with what we have achieved and we wish them all the best with their future plans.”
