Children's charity praise Skipton nursery and building society for support with bake sale

Bake sale.

The Principal Trust Children’s Charity has thanked staff at Skipton Building Society and Brougham Street Community Nursery School.

The charity thanked them for supporting a recent bake sale held at the organisation’s head office in Skipton.

Colleagues at Skipton Building Society, along with volunteers and supporters, helped raise £650 at the event. 

The total includes match funding from the building society.

Brougham Street Community Nursery School and a team of volunteers contributed baked goods for the sale, and additional support was provided on the day by local volunteers.

The charity says the amount raised is enough to fund a free week-long respite break for a child and their family experiencing adverse childhood experiences. 

They shared their praise via Facebook saying:

“A special shoutout to Brougham Street Community Nursery School and our incredible volunteers who baked up a storm, and to Linda Lewis for generously giving her time to support Lauren on the day. 

“Thanks to everyone’s amazing efforts, and SBS for match-funding the event raised an incredible £650!”

This can include families affected by mental health challenges, trauma, abuse, poverty, serious illness or disabilities.

The Principle Trust operates a 100 per cent donations policy, meaning all funds raised go directly towards providing respite breaks for children and families across Yorkshire.
