Parents at Windrush Primary School on Woolwich Road have launched a crowdfunding appeal to help revamp their school’s playground.

They are already a third of the way to their £10,000 target, and are appealing to their neighbours in the Charlton community to help back the appeal.

“This project is important. The school is fantastic – our children love it – but the playground is currently lacking, both in terms of play equipment and greenery,” said Anna Salmi, one of the organisers.

“We have almost 600 pupils, so improving the playground is vital for the wellbeing of a large number of local children, for many of whom the school playground is the only outside space they regularly get to enjoy and spend time in.

“We are fundraising in a variety of ways, but we really need all the help we can get. A successful campaign is crucial for making the playground revamp a reality by the end of the school year, rather than years down the line.”

You can support the campaign at crowdfunder.co.uk.
