In a true show of community spirit, families from Cherry Burton and beyond gathered at the Humber Bridge last weekend to take part in a sponsored bike ride across the bridge to raise vital funds for local charity Cherry Burton Pre-school.
Despite a ferocious wind, supporters of this local charity in ages ranging from one year old to 73 years old, battled across the bridge on bikes, trikes, scooters and on foot, to the finish line where they were greeted by family and friends. All the children who took part have been busy earning sponsorship for this challenge and will altogether have raised around £700 for the Pre-school.
Children at Cherry Burton Pre-school marked the imminent end of autumn this week by welcoming local author Valerie L Pate in to read from her book, Millie Loves the Autumn.
Learning about the seasons is a key part of the work at this innovative Pre-school, and this special reading by successful children’s author Valerie made the experience very special indeed.
Cherry Burton Pre-school’s annual Christmas raffle has received a welcome boost this year from award-winning estate agents, Woolley & Parks, who have donated the star prize of a crate of champagne.
This Driffield-based agent, which opened up in Beverley last month, has wasted no time in getting involved in the local community, choosing to support the work of Cherry Burton Pre-school, which is rated outstanding by Ofsted.
Cherry Burton Pre-school received a much-needed boost to its fundraising this week when it received a cheque for £500 from local firm Informed Financial Planning (IFP).
