Mountpark visits Briarwood School six months after sponsoring Variety Sunshine Coach.
29th noviembre 2023In May 2023 Mountpark held their annual charity football match at QPR, which raised money in order to donate the coach to Briarwood School, with Variety Ambassador, Tessa Sanderson CBE, and Managing Director of Mountpark UK and Ireland, Philip O’Callaghan in attendance.
This week, Rach Clarke, Development Director, UK & Ireland, for Mountpark visited the school, along with Partnership Manager for Variety, Matt Gray. It was a fantastic opportunity to see the difference a Sunshine Coach can make to children’s education.
Rach and Matt had the opportunity to see the school and speak to staff and students about their new coach. The Sunshine Coach is not only used to get students between the school’s sites and to physiotherapy, but it also helps them get out into their local community and build their social skills and confidence.
Mountpark, said:
The team at Mountpark has supported Variety for over 20 years and is thrilled to have helped donate a Sunshine Coach to Briarwood School this year. All students deserve the opportunity to be educated outside of the classroom, and it has been so rewarding to speak to teachers and pupils at Briarwood and learn about the impact of this coach. We hope that this Sunshine Coach will continue to enable students at Briarwood School to explore, develop their skills and get involved in their local community.”
