Staff and children from a Lichfield pre-school are celebrating after receiving a £1,100 grant.
The money was awarded to Jack and Jill’s Pre-School by the Ford Britain Trust.
It will be used to purchase education resources to support active, hands-on play at the Darwin Hall-based organisation.
The grant came after an application on behalf of John O’Connell by his daughter-in-law whose daughter attends the pre-school. He previously worked for Ford for 20 years.
A spokesperson for the pre-school said:
“The grant will help Jack and Jill’s to continue to be a vibrant part of the local community and to provide quality early years education in our area.”
