Playgroup Project
Bottesford Playgroup has been undertaking a project on transport and
emergency vehicles. As part of this it had two “Yellow” days where both
staff and children paid to wear yellow tops, and donated £40 to the Lincs
and Notts Air Ambulance. This helps raise awareness to both parents and
children of the vital role this service plays in our community.
