COLLEAGUES from Daresbury-based Ombudsman Services treated children from seven local primary schools to an Easter surprise.
Murdishaw West, Castle View, Gorsewood, St Martin’s, Brookvale, The Brow and Windmill Hill primary schools all received Easter eggs for each of the children in their reception classes.
Ombudsman Services is dedicated to offering continued support to the local community throughout the year, particularly with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The Daresbury-based business regularly donates to worthy causes in the area, providing volunteering opportunities for colleagues and hosting events for local schoolchildren.
“Murdishaw West is one of the most deprived schools in the area, so the generous donations help bring periods like Easter alive for our children,” said Vanessa Edwards, headteacher at Murdishaw West Primary School. “The Christmas party we attended at the offices last December will be fondly remembered by our children for many years to come.”
Rob Moore, headteacher at Brookvale Primary School said “We’ve done a lot of work with Ombudsman Services – it’s all been fantastic. We’re based in a deprived area, so the generosity goes a long way, and the children love it.
“Working with local primary schools is always incredibly rewarding,” said Simon Thornton, senior leader for legitimacy at Ombudsman Services. “Bringing a smile to children’s faces is the least we can do, and we’re committed to maintaining support for the local community throughout the year with our continued donations, events and volunteer work.”
