On the 24th of April I will be running the London Marathon which is a small village in England somewhere, and the equivalent to running 2 half-marathons! 26.2 miles to be precise!

As i was lucky enough to secure a place on the ballot entry, I don’t have to run for a specific charity.  However i thought this would be a good opportunity to support our local pre-school, where 2 out of 3 children have attended (the third will be there soon enough!)

Portreath Pre-school, like many pre-schools is run by a charity and managed by a committee made up of parents of children attending the pre-school and members of the local community.

The pre-school relies a lot on donations.  The money is put towards new toys and resources for the children, as well as improvements to the pre-school which benefit the children’s learning experiences.

I am incredibly grateful to the pre-school for the hard work that they do for all of the children, and thankful also to you sponsoring me to run the London Marathon so i can donate to this great charity.

Please also see our gofundme.com/47vag364 page as well as the pre-school facebook page

 

I will keep you informed as to how i get on!!

The children this week have been enjoying playing with some of the toys we have brought with the fundraising that has been supported by the village. Thank you for the donations from the village events committee (Kernow King) evening, Bridge Inn (fireworks evening),the portreath pre-school committee for organising cake sales, bags2school, Christmas evening all these events have helped us by the toys.

Reminder we are collecting the Sainsbury’s active vouchers for pre-school to go towards ‘fit n fun’ and cooking equipment. Please let your family and friends know and bring the vouchers into pre-school. Thank you for those who are already bringing the vouchers in.

On Sunday 6th March at St Mary’s Church there will be a Mother’s Day service.  9.45am for tea, coffee, special hot chocolate, cupcakes and cookies.  There will be a short interactive service followed by biscuit decorating for the children and a glass of Prosecco for the adults.
