Poppleton Out Of School Club has received £500 from the Persimmon Homes Community Champions scheme. The charitable club supports Poppleton Road Primary school with wraparound childcare, as well as providing a holiday club for other local youngsters aged four to 14-years. With an even greater focus on outdoor activities due to the current pandemic, the Persimmon Homes’ donation will fund additional play equipment to minimise the need for sharing. Poppleton Out Of School Club manager, Kathryn McKellar, said: “This is amazing news at such a challenging time. We are continually reviewing our practises and procedures to ensure we can keep our children and staff as safe as possible.
