Preston schoolchildren have shown their love for the community on Valentine’s Day,donating home baked biscuits to local care homes.
Children in Year 4 at Ashton Primary School have baked heart-shaped shortbreads dipped in chocolate and donated them to residents at Abraham House, Marina View and Swansea Terrace.
The project has supported the children to develop new skills and broaden their awareness of the community around them.
Ingredients were supplied by James Hall & Co. Ltd, together with a Spar recipe card, which was put together with help from the University of Central Lancashire’s Dietetics department. The initiative is part of a longer-term project with multiple partners working together across the academic year which is aiming to support the school in a range of areas.
These including knowledge development with children and families, supporting the school to become more self-sufficient with food supply, and increasing the connection between the school and the community around them.
Katie Atherton, trading manager at James Hall & Co. Ltd, said: “We’ve enjoyed every one of the opportunities supporting Ashton Primary School this year, but I think the Valentine’s Day baking session has been the most heartwarming yet.
“As a proud Preston-based family business with family values, we’re pleased to be supporting skills development within children and helping the school build a connection with the community.”
