Team members at Partou Eldwick Street Day Nursery and Pre-school in Burnley braved atrocious conditions to complete a challenging sponsored walk around the town which raised an impressive sum for disadvantaged children around the world.
“We set off late at night in a wild storm to complete 8.5 miles through the streets of Burnley,” Danielle James, Partou Eldwick Street Nursery Manager, explained.
“I set up a JustGiving page explaining what we were doing and shared the QR code and link with my team, as well as our on nursery Facebook page. Between us we raised an amazing £350 for UNICEF.
“Big thanks to my colleagues Beth Ormerod, Chloe Shaw, Suzanne Exton, Aimee Hargreaves, Shasha Bradley and Millie Shepherd who were all part of the team who cracked on through the strong wind and rain!”
Danielle added: “We are proud to raise money to support UNICEF’s vital work for children.
“UNICEF ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation.
“In 190 countries and territories, UNICEF works to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.
“Every donation helps to build a better world for every child.”
Situated just a short walk from Burnley General Hospital, Partou Eldwick Street Day Nursery and Pre-school provides high quality early years care and education to families in the heart of the town.
Its bright, spacious playrooms are complemented by year-round access to an outdoor play area, complete with soft flooring and sandpits.
Samantha Rhodes, Partou Managing Director, said: “Congratulations to Danielle and her team, very well done indeed!
“Partou recently announced an official partnership with UNICEF to support targeted global initiatives, giving more children the opportunity to grow and thrive.
“The money raised by Partou Eldwick Street will make a real difference to this important work.”
