I’m on the committee for the pre-school my little boy attends in the small village of Upottery in East Devon (about half hour out of Exeter). The pre-school is a registered charity (number 1030355) and run by a really wonderful committed group of parents. It’s a fantastic community resource in this little rural farming village and I like to help out however I can.

One of the ways the pre-school raises funds at Christmas is by doing a Christmas Hamper. They collect food items to make up the hamper then sell raffle tickets and raise money which goes towards the running of the school. They raised about £500 doing this last year. This went towards a new playground surface which is now in place and is a huge improvement to the worn away, potholed playground the kids used to have!

I’m on a mission to collect some foodie goodies from fellow businesses this year, so please either add a comment if you can donate something or email me direct on sharon@tishtashtoys.com

We would be more than happy to pass on your company flyers etc to all the parents there too. There are currently about 30 children attending Upottery pre-school.

I could also add a blog article about your business on here – just send me over some words & I’ll add links etc. This blog has been going for years now and all the articles get well ranked on google so great free ad for you.

Thank you for reading
