Pendon Museum was recently sent the feedback below from the Long Wittenham School Association who received the most recent donation towards school equipment.
To the Pop-up café and Pendon team,
I am writing to say a huge thank you for your recent donation. We are pleased to inform you that the money was used to buy some rakes and brooms (see photos below) for the children to enable them to lend a hand and help keep their environment tidy. It was such a generous donation; we were able to go to Notcutts and purchase four brooms and four rakes. Notcutts also kindly donated some gloves, leaf collection bins and dustpan and brushes this meant that a huge cohort could work together carrying out different tasks. The children have been so good at sharing the tools and trying all the tasks.
The response to these items has been incredible. The children are using the tools every day helping to clear autumn leaves. They have shown how well they can work together and have vocalised how much they are enjoying the task and how good it feels to be outside working.
We appreciate your support to the local community.
Best Wishes,
Fay Read
Long Wittenham School Association
The pop-up café at will be open again on Wednesday 11th December from 10am to 12:30pm.
This is a free drop-in event, with just a small charge for drinks and cake to cover the costs. All donations from the cakes go to support a local group, so please go along and support it if you can.
The café is friendly to dog walkers, but they will need to have their refreshment outside with their dog(s).
