A DEVELOPER has teamed up with a town school to keep pupils safe during the winter months.
McCarthy & Stone, the UK’s leading retirement developer, has
donated 250 reflective wristbands to children at St Joseph's Catholic
Primary School, Ombersley Way.
The wristbands are to help raise awareness of road safety and to make
pupils more visible to passing motorists during busy rush hour
conditions.
Headteacher from St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Miranda Gibbs,
said: “We actively encourage our pupils to walk to and from school; it’s
a great way to keep healthy and active and reduces road congestion. However, many are now finding themselves doing their journey in the
dark, and we’re keen to make sure they stay as visible and safe as
possible.
“We’d like to say a big thank you to McCarthy & Stone for the
reflective armbands – they’ll definitely help our pupils to stand out.”
Gill Sabin, regional sales and marketing director for McCarthy &
Stone, added: “We’re committed to supporting the local communities in
which we build so it’s a real pleasure to be able to make these
donations and hopefully help in some way towards keeping pupils safe on
their journeys to and from school.”
McCarthy & Stone is currently inviting over 70s to register their
interest in the range of one and two bedroom assisted living apartments
at Horton Mill Court in Droitwich Spa.
