Chailey Heritage has raised £24,000 in just eight days for a new 21st Century outdoor learning space for the youngest children with complex disabilities which they support after taking part in The Big Give Christmas Challenge, an annual match funding project. It needed £12,000 of online donations – all of which were matched – from the public in the first eight days of December and reached its target with just two hours to spare. Headteacher, Simon Yates, said the playground will make a huge difference to the pupils’ lives. He said: “I want to thank everyone who donated, especially at a difficult time with Covid 19. We are truly grateful.
