WARRINGTON-based Ingevity has donated £3,450 to Woolston CE Primary School to support the school’s new Forest School initiative.
The donation was made through the company’s IngeviCares philanthropy program.
“Ingevity’s mission is to purify, protect and enhance the world around us, and we are excited to support an initiative that allows the children to enjoy some hands-on experience in a woodland environment,” said Filiz Hopkins, member of Ingevity’s IngeviCares committee. “Ingevity is committed to supporting education and appreciated the opportunity to meet the teachers and children who will learn more about science and nature through the Forest School.”
Woolston CE Primary School’s Forest School provision was developed to encourage children to increase their confidence and resilience as they learn to manage risks, problem solve and explore the natural environment.
“A Forest School is a child-centered learning process which embodies our school values of perseverance, service, truthfulness and friendship”, said headteacher, Sarah Dillon. “This would not have been possible without the support of the IngeviCares funding.”
Ingevity’s Warrington plant manufactures caprolactone monomer, polyols and thermoplastics with end use applications in resins, coatings, elastomers, adhesives and bioplastics. The plant has 185 employees and has been in operation since 1974.
