Franke donates 600 water bottles to help local school children stay healthy and hydrated

Franke is helping local school children stay healthy and hydrated after donating 600 water bottles to Lime Tree Primary Academy in Sale. The donation will allow the school to provide over 500 pupils and every staff member with a water bottle for September. They were also able to give them out to recent Year 6 leavers.

The donation coincides with the 10-year anniversary of Lime Tree Primary’s Forest School where children have the opportunity to attend activity sessions in the woods and farm where they play and learn forest skills. The school is keen to encourage pupils to stay hydrated during these sessions, and when taking part in other activities such as outdoor learning, sports and team building games.

Janet Green, Forest School and Outdoor Learning Team Leader at Lime Tree Academy says: “We would like to thank Franke for their generous donation. They came at the perfect time as we are celebrating 10 years of Forest School. Hydration for all our pupils is so highly important as it keeps them healthy and focused as they go through the school day, both inside and outside of the classroom. We are a very active school and being able to have a water bottle to take outside to Forest School and other outdoor sessions is essential.”

The donation to Lime Tree Academy was organised by David Pearse, Cluster Commercial Controller at Franke, which has its UK headquarters in Greater Manchester close to the school. David, who has a daughter who attends Lime Tree Academy, says: “We were thrilled to play a part in Lime Tree Primary Academy’s 10-year Forest School anniversary with the donation of the water bottles. Supporting education and the wellbeing of young learners is a cause we are passionate about, and we were pleased to be able to contribute to such a dedicated and active school.”
