Darren, the son of our late and much-loved Site Manager, Ian Coates, is raising funds for our school by taking on a half marathon!
Ian always went the extra mile for our children and now Darren is continuing his dadβs legacy through this wonderful act of kindness.
Darren hopes to raise enough money to provide our children with a state-of-the-art table tennis table for use during OPAL play sessions, giving them even more opportunities for active and enjoyable play.
If you are able to support him with a donation, no matter how big or small, we would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution will help make this fantastic addition to our playground a reality. The link to the go fund page is in the comments section.
Thank you for your kindness, support and generosity. π₯°πββοΈπ
Good luck, Darren β weβre all cheering you on! π
