Sharing The Magic
This Christmas
Ribby Hall Village near Wrea Green is sharing the magic this Christmas as it donates over £5,000 to 11 local primary schools in a bid to alleviate some of the pressures being put on staff and pupils
Each year the five-star Ribby Hall Village looks to support local charities, teams and community-based projects where they can. Following what has been a challenging few years for the county’s schools, with the continuing effect of the pandemic, staffing issues and now spiralling cost of living, Ribby Hall Village wanted to reach out to a part of the community that can often be overlooked, to donate more than £5,000.
Brand and PR Manager, Hayley Thompson, said: “Schools are at the heart of our community and are not only educating our young people but offering a safe space for many children providing wellbeing support, hot meals and warm, safe environments with little or no extra funding.
“We are mindful that these are schools that grow and develop our employees’ children, that have educated many of our current employees as well as potential future employees. We are conscious of the overwhelming support we receive from local families, who choose to spend their time at Ribby Hall Village throughout the year. Their continued loyalty is hugely appreciated and we wanted to make sure we share the magic with them this Christmas.
All within two miles of the Holiday Village, Kirkham and Wesham Primary School, Freckleton C of E and Holy Family Catholic Primary School in Warton are just three of the schools that have been visited by Ribby Hall’s Reindeer Reggie to meet teachers and pupils and share the exciting news.
Headteacher, Michelle Holden, said: “This means so much to our school. The donation is really going to enhance our provision, especially around some of our key priorities such as wellbeing, healthy eating and student resources. A massive thank you from Holy Family.”
The Holiday Village, that is open all year round, wanted to incorporate their Christmas marketing campaign into the end of year community and charity initiatives that include selection box donations to Christmas events, present donations to vulnerable children and supporting Lancashire food banks.
