David Wilson Homes North East has donated an £100 book voucher to Hexham First School. As lockdown restrictions begin to ease, the company has partnered with the school, close to its Woodland Rise development, to celebrate their return to education but also highlight the importance of literacy among children. It comes as evidence continues to highlight how increased literacy can positively impact mental wellbeing in children, with those most engaged with literacy being three times more likely to have higher levels of mental wellbeing than children who are the least engaged. Sales manager of David Wilson Homes Woodland Rise Ashlea Wright said: “We are always looking for new ways to engage with the communities in which we build, so we are delighted to be supporting Hexham First School as the children return to the classroom.
