In recognition of Children’s Mental Health Week (5th to 11th February), David Wilson Homes tasked pupils at Corby Glen Community Primary School in Lincolnshire with creating their own friendship bracelets.

Children’s Mental Health Week, founded by Place2Be, is a mental health awareness week that empowers, equips and gives a voice to all children and young people in the UK to discuss their mental health.
The friendship bracelet craft sets were donated by the housebuilder to encourage children to build lasting bonds with their classmates and to use teamwork when creating the bracelets.
The school, located near the housebuilder’s Pastures Place development on Bourne Road in Corby Glen, was delighted to receive the donation to promote positivity and encourage the children to form lifelong friendships.
Natalie Willcock, Headteacher at Corby Glen Community Primary School, said: “Thank you to David Wilson Homes for the wonderful donation of clay beads. During Children’s Mental Health Week, our children have been busy making friendship bracelets as an act of kindness to give to others. The children have thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity and it is now part of an activity we offer at lunchtimes.”
John Reddington, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “We hope that by donating these friendship bracelets, we have encouraged the children at Corby Glen Community Primary School to look out for one another.
“Children’s Mental Health Week is such an important initiative, and we relish the opportunity to reach out to schools within our community and provide support for such a deserving cause.”
David Wilson Homes is currently building a range of three, four and five bedroom properties at its Pastures Place development.
