Do you need or can you help please?: Dear All - We are currently in the process of updating some of our outdoor play equipment items and resources. All of our outdoor items are generously donated by the school community and we are extremely grateful for all of the support. However, over time with the weather and use, they become damaged and broken and need replacing. We will be starting to work through the outdoor items in the coming weeks. There are a number of tyres which we are looking to dispose of which we would like to remove from site and wondered if there are any farmers or similar who could make use of these and take them free of charge. If there are, please make contact with Mike (Mike.Sales@Hindhayes.co.uk) - Thank you.
