Community Day 2008

Minford Gardens under 5's pre-school

18 August 2008

The Research Partnership’s Community Day was held at Minford Gardens under 5’s pre-school this year. Staff volunteers got their hands dirty and made their backs ache gardening and re-painting the local nursery. The day was a great success as everyone involved pitched in and contributed towards re-decorating the school.

This initiative by The Research Partnership was established a number of years ago in order for staff to be able to put something back into the local community. Staff get to do something they wouldn't normally do and enjoy a day out of the office, whilst local community services are provided with free manpower that they wouldn't usually have.

A previous Community Day took The Research Partnership to a special needs school in Putney, where we were able to offer volunteering for the day.

Minford Gardens Nursery is located in West Kensington and is staffed by qualified teachers who encourage and supervise educational play. Teaching children personal, social and emotional development as well as introducing children to mathematics, languages, literacy and communication.
